If good happens, good; if bad happens, good.

He who is great must make humility his base. He who is high must make lowliness his foundation. Thus, princes and kings in speaking of themselves use the terms "lonely," "friendless," "of small account." Is not this making humility their base?

Quiet your mind and stop judging and resisting and manipulating the natural way.

Highest good is like water. Because water excels in benefiting the myriad creatures without contending with them and settles where none would like to be, it comes closest to the way.

Wise men hear and see as little children do.

He who knows how to be aggressive, and yet remains patient, becomes a receptacle for all of Nature's lessons.

The great image lacks shape.
