Peace and quiet are preferred. Victory should not be praised.
Keep behind, and you shall be put in front; keep out, and you shall be kept in.
There is something obscure which is complete before heaven and earth arose; tranquil, quiet, standing alone without change, moving without peril. It could be the mother of everything. Not knowing its name, I call it Tao.
Be who you are, and go the whole way.
If you wish to be out front, then act as if you were behind.
Movement overcomes cold.
