Free from desire, you realize the mystery.

The more we give to others, the more we are increased.

When the great Tao is forgotten, goodness and piety appear. When the body's intelligence declines, cleverness and knowledge step forth. When there is no peace in the family, filial piety begins. When the country falls into chaos, patriotism is born.

Can you deal with the most vital matters by letting events take their course? Can you step back from you own mind and thus understand all things? Giving birth and nourishing, having without possessing, acting with no expectations, leading and not trying to control: this is the supreme virtue.

When the hares have all been caught, the hunting dogs are cooked.

All things arise in unison. Thereby we see their return.

I am at peace, and people become fair by themselves.
