When the intelligent and animal souls are held together in one embrace, they can be kept from separating.

It is hidden but always present.

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

If a country is governed with tolerance, the people are comfortable and honest. If a country is governed with repression, the people are depressed and crafty. When the will to power is in charge, the higher the ideals, the lower the results. Try to make people happy, and you lay the groundwork for misery. Try to make people moral, and you lay the groundwork for vice. Thus the Master is content to serve as an example and not to impose her will. She is pointed, but doesn't pierce. Straightforward, but supple. Radiant, but easy on the eyes.

The brittle is easy to shatter.

The wise trusts not only to his physical eyes - thus he can see clearly.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
