The softest of stuff in the world, penetrates quickly the hardest, insubstantial, it enters where there is no room.

The gentlest thing in the world overcomes the hardest thing in the world. That which has no substance enters where there is no space. This shows the value of non-action. Teaching without words, performing without actions: that is the Master's way.

In the end, The treasure of life is missed by those who hold on and gained by those who let go

No disaster is worse than being discontented.

You should rule a great country As you would fry a small fish- With the least turning.

Without stirring abroad, One can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window One can see the way of heaven. The further one goes The less one knows.

The wise man doesn't compete; therefore nobody can compete with him.
