Without law or compulsion, men would dwell in harmony.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to all things. All things have their backs to the female and stand facing the male. When male and female combine, all things achieve harmony. Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realizing he is one with the whole universe.

The heavy is the root of the light. The tranquil is the ruler of the hasty.

To lead people, walk behind them.
