ALL things in Nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfil their functions and make no claim.
The river and the sea can be kings of a hundred valleys, because they lie below them.
The wise does not think that only he is right -thus he knows the truth.
Do not attempt to conquer the world with force, for force only causes resistance.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind. Thus by nature's own decree, the soft and gentle are triumphant.
