Whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. What is soft is strong.
The progress of the Way seems retreating.
He who treasures his body as much as the world can care for the world.
A man is born gentle and weak. At death he is hard and stiff.
When great armies go to war, Sorrow is the sole winner.
When people see some things as good, other things become bad.
