He who knows how to be aggressive, and yet remains patient, becomes a receptacle for all of Nature's lessons.
LaoziIn ancient times, those who followed the Way did not try to give people knowledge thereof, but kept them ignorant.
LaoziSuperior leaders get things done with very little motion. They impart instruction not through many words, but through a few deeds. They keep informed about everything but interfere hardly at all. They are catalysts, and though things would not get done as well if they were not there, when they succeed they take no credit. And, because they take no credit, credit never leaves them.
Laozi
