The one who is filled by virtue is like a newborn baby.

Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness. All can know good as good only because there is evil. Therefore having and not having arise together. Difficult and easy complement each other. Long and short contrast each other. High and low rest upon each other. Voice and sound harmonize each other. Front and back follow one another.

The perfect square lacks corners.

The feminine values are the fountain of bliss. Know the masculine, Keep to the feminine.

Filling life exceedingly is called ominous.

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

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
