ALL things in Nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfil their functions and make no claim.

Those who of old were good practicers of Tao did not use it to make people bright, but rather used it to make them simple.

If people do not revere the Law of Nature It will adversely affect them. If they accept It with knowledge and reverence, It will accommodate them with balance and harmony.

Abandon cleverness, discard profit, and thieves and robbers will disappear.

Everything in the universe is created from something, which in turn is created from nothing.

The way to use life is to do nothing through acting, The way to use life is to do everything through being.

Through return to simple living comes control of desires. In control of desires stillness is attained. In stillness the world is restored.
