You should rule a great country As you would fry a small fish- With the least turning.

The inner is the foundation of the outer. The still is master of the restless. The Sage travels all day yet never leaves his inner treasure.

Without looking through the window, you can see Heaven's Way.

Excellent conquerors do not engage.

As long as we have hope, we have direction, the energy to move, and the map to move by. We have a hundred alternatives, a thousand paths and an infinity of dreams. Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go; hopeless, we are lost forever.

Those who would take over the earth and shape it to their will, never, I notice succeed.

Quiet your mind and stop judging and resisting and manipulating the natural way.
