The valley spirit never dies. It is called the mystical female.
The best fighter is never angry.
The net of heaven is very wide in its meshes, and yet it misses nothing.
All things arise in unison. Thereby we see their return.
Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish, too much handling will spoil it.
A great nation is like a great man:When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.Having realized it, he admits it.Having admitted it, he corrects it.He considers those who point out his faultsas his most benevolent teachers.He thinks of his enemyas the shadow that he himself casts.
