The progress of the Way seems retreating.
Loving, hating, having expectations: all these are attachments. Attachment prevents the growth of one's true being.
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.
Nature doesn't make long speeches.
Abandon benevolence, discard duty, and people will return to the family ties.
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.
