The progress of the Way seems retreating.
Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realizing he is one with the whole universe.
Those who are self-righteous are not prominent.
Things are not worth attending to, yet they have to be attended to.
The sage acts by doing nothing.
Speaking with kindness creates confidence, thinking with kindness creates profoundness, giving with kindness creates love.
