All action begins in rest... This is the ultimate truth.

...the more you talk of it, the less you understand.

Force is followed by loss of strength. This is not the way of the Tao. That which goes against the Tao comes to an early end.

Nature is not anthropomorphic.

When the uncarved wood is split, its parts are put to use. When the sage is put to use, he becomes the head.

Goodness in words creates trust, goodness in thinking creates depth, goodness in giving creates love.

Wear down to be renewed.
