In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In daily life, be competent. In action, be aware of the time and the season.
LaoziThe man of knowledge acquires something new everyday, and the man of Tao lets go of something new every day.
LaoziWarriors say: I dare not be like the host, but would rather be like the guest. I dare not advance an inch, but would rather retreat a foot.
LaoziThe softest of stuff in the world, penetrates quickly the hardest, insubstantial, it enters where there is no room.
