Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking.
Every step is on the path.
I am wearied, as if I lacked a home to go to.
The usefulness of the pot lies in its emptiness.
Covetousness is the greatest misfortune. One who does not know what is enough will never have enough.
Being satisfied with little, you can gain much. Seeking much you will go astray. The wise heeds this precept. If it could be so with all people!
