The difficult problems in life always start off being simple. Great affairs always start off being small.

Embrace simplicity. Put others first. Desire little.

Giving birth and nourishing, Bearing yet not possessing, Working yet not taking credit, Leading yet not dominating, This is the Primal Virtue.

The sage knows without traveling, perceives without looking, completes without acting.

The way to use life is to do nothing through acting, The way to use life is to do everything through being.

Have patience. Wait until the mud settles and the water is clear. Remain unmoving until right action arises by itself.

Solve it before it happens. Order it before chaos emerges.
