Be as the still mountain; Move like the great river.

Seeing the small is called clarity.

Those who seek knowledge, collect something every day. Those who seek the Way, let go of something every day.

Praise of power leads to weakness; Love of things leads to loss; The wise one leads by filling people's hearts; He destroys illusion and disturbs those who believe they are wise; He does nothing yet everything happens.

The superior student listens to the Way and follows it closely. The average student listens to the Way and follows some and some not. The lesser student listens to the Way and laughs out loud. If there were no laughter it would not be the Way.

Lightly given promises must meet with little trust.

Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know.
