Excellent leaders of people lower themselves.

Every human being's essential nature is perfect and faultless, but after years of immersion in the world we easily forget our roots and take on a counterfeit nature.

We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.

The value of teaching without words and accomplishing without action is understood by few in the world.

Knowing the future is the flower of the Way, and the beginning of folly.

The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most successful manager leads without dictating. This is intelligent non aggressiveness.

The biggest in the world is small in its beginning.
