Express yourself completely, then keep quiet. Be like the forces of nature: when it blows, there is only wind; when it rains, there is only rain; when the clouds pass, the sun shines through. If you open yourself to the Tao, you are at one with the Tao and you can embody it completely. If you open yourself to insight, you are at one with insight and you can use it completely. If you open yourself to loss, you are at one with loss and you can accept it completely. Open yourself to the Tao, then trust your natural responses; and everything will fall into place.

The best way to manage anything is by making use of its own nature.

Realize thy Simple Self, Embrace thy Original Nature.

Is not the action of nature like the stretching of a bow? The high, it pulls down; the low, it lifts up; It takes from what is in excess In order to make good of what is deficient. Who can take what they have in excess and offer it to others?

Fail to honor people, they fail to honor you.

Fine words are traded. Noble deeds gain respect. But people who are not good, why abandon them?

When the effective leader is finished with his work, the people say it happened naturally.
