Knowledge of the eternal is all-embracing. To be all-embracing leads to righteousness, which is majestic.

Stop leaving and you will arrive, Stop searching and you will see, Stop running away and you will be found.

Requite injury with kindness.

Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men doesn't try to force issues or defeat enemies by force of arms. For every force there is a counterforce. Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself. The Master does his job and then stops. He understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao. Because he believes in himself, he doesn't try to convince others. Because he is content with himself, he doesn't need others' approval. Because he accepts himself, the whole world accepts him.

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

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.

The wise man does not lay up treasure. The more he expends on others, the more he gains for himself. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.
