The best people are like water, which benefits all things and does not compete with them. It stays in lowly places that others reject. This is why it is so similar to the Way.

Going on means going far, going far means returning.

Movement overcomes cold.

Be content with an ordinary life.

Battles are followed by years of famine.

Nothing and no one in the world is valuable or worthless.

With virtue and quietness one may conquer the world.
