Nothing is weaker than water, Yet for overcoming what is hard and strong, Nothing surpasses it.

You will understand a great truth when you get to realize that what you do to others, you are doing to yourself.

Softness triumphs over hardness, feebleness over strength. What is more malleable is always superior over that which is immoveable. This is the principle of controlling things by going along with them, of mastery through adaptation.

Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.

Those who stay where they are will endure.

Peace is our natural state of being.

Heaven's net is very vast. It is sparsely meshed, yet nothing slips through.
