Battles are followed by years of famine.

The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms.

The Way of Tao is this: It strives not, but conquers; It speaks not, but all is made clear; It summons not, but its house is crowded; It contrives not, but the design is perfect.

Keep behind, and you shall be put in front; keep out, and you shall be kept in.

What the Way is to the world, the stream is to the river and the sea.

Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.

Creating without claiming, Doing without taking credit, Guiding without interfering, This is Primal Virtue.
