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.

Your own positive future begins in this moment. All you have is right now. Every goal is possible from here.

The Way to do is to be.

The great image lacks shape.

He who holds balance...has attained the highest post in the world.

Only he who does not seek to be ahead of others is capable of living in harmony with everyone.

Tao invariably takes no action, and yet there is nothing left undone.
