For knowledge, add something every day. For wisdom....subtract.

Those who are quiet value the words. When their task is completed, people will say: We did it ourselves.

The wise stand out because they see themselves as part of the Whole. They shine because they don't want to impress. They achieve great things because they don't look for recognition. Their wisdom is contained in what they are, not their opinions. They refuse to argue, so no-one argues with them.

A good manager is best when people barely know that he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despise him.

Cultivate virtue in yourself, and it will be true.

Is not the space between Heaven and Earth like a bellows? It is empty, but lacks nothing. The more it moves, the more comes out of it.

Do not strive for the shine of jade, but clatter like stone.
