When you are one with loss, the loss is experienced willingly.

The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to all things. All things have their backs to the female and stand facing the male. When male and female combine, all things achieve harmony. Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realizing he is one with the whole universe.

A tree that can fill the span of a man's arms grows from a downy tip; A terrace nine stories high rises from level earth; A journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath one's feet.

Lay plans for the accomplishment of the difficult before it becomes difficult; make something big by starting with it when small.

The softest in the world surpasses the hardest in the world.

I am good to people who are good. I am also good to people who are not good. Because Virtue is goodness.

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