The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying to. It is content with the low places that people disdain. Thus it is like the Tao. In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

Great, it passes on (in constant flow).

To know and not to do is not yet to know.

The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of all things.

Purity and stillness give the correct law to all under heaven.

Use your light, but dim your brightness.

He who knows, knows not. He who knows not, knows.
