Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Excellent leaders of people lower themselves.
Whoever is capable of knowing when they have had enough will always be satisfied.
To lead people, walk behind them.
The Great Tao flows everywhere, to the left and to the right, all things depend on it to exist, and it does not abandon them. To its accomplishments it lays no claims. It loves and nourished all things, but does not lord it over them.
