Cultivate virtue in yourself, and it will be true.

The best way to manage anything is by making use of its own nature.

Standing on "tip toe", one stands not firmly. Straining in stride, one cannot walk far. Flaunting of deeds, one is unfavorably noticed. Being self-righteous, one is not respected. Boasting of self, one's merit is unrecognized. Glorifying of self, one loses the opportunity for greatness. From the viewpoint of Tao These represent imperfect Te, Valued as are filth or disease.

The farther you go, the less you know.

The subtlest of subtleties, this is the gateway to all mysteries.

I do not know its name. I call it the Way. For the lack of better words I call it great.

Hold on to the center and make up your mind to rejoice in this paradise called life.
