The world is a sacred vessel that cannot be changed. He who changes it will destroy it. He who seizes it will lose it.

The master accomplishes more and more by doing less and less until finally he accomplishes everything by doing nothing.

Deal with it before it happens. Set things in order before there is confusion.

The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to all things. All things have their backs to the female and stand facing the male. When male and female combine, all things achieve harmony. Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realizing he is one with the whole universe.

When good thing are accomplished, it does not claim (or name) them. This is Te, which is close in meaning to power or virtue. It is something within a person, and it is enhanced by following the Tao, or 'that from which nothing can deviate'.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

Without going outside, you may know the whole world!
