The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to yin and yang. Yin and yang give birth to all things... The complete whole is the complete whole. So also is any part the complete whole... But forget about understanding and harmonizing and making all things one. The universe is already a harmonious oneness; just realize it.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Can you comprehend everything in the four directions and still do nothing?

The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long.

That so few understand me is why I am treasured.

Love the whole world as if it were your self; then you will truly care for all things.

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.
