Can you let go of words and ideas, attitudes and expectations? If so, then the Tao will loom into view.

I have three treasures which I hold and keep. The first is mercy; the second is economy. The third is daring not to be ahead of others. From mercy comes courage; from economy comes generosity; From humility comes leadership.

To see things in the seed, that is genius.

Acting without design, occupying oneself without making a business of it, finding the great in what is small and the many in the few, repaying injury with kindness, effecting difficult things while they are easy, and managing great things in their beginnings; this is the method of Tao.

By not claiming to be first in the world one can rule.

The sage has no concern for himself, but makes the concerns of others his own.

I find good people good And I find bad people good If I am good enough.
