One who lives in accordance with nature does not go against the way of things but moves in harmony with the present moment.

Life is going forth; death is returning home.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

Take care with the end as you do with the beginning

Between yea and nay, how much difference is there?

Without stirring abroad, One can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window One can see the way of heaven. The further one goes The less one knows.

Be empty. Be still. Just watch everything come and go. This is the way of Nature.
