See simplicity in the complicated. Achieve greatness in little things

Favor and disgrace are like fear. Favor is in a higher place, and disgrace in a lower place. When you win them you are like being in fear, and when you lose them you are also like being in fear. So favor and disgrace are like fear.

The world is ruled by letting things take their course. It cannot be ruled by interfering.

Know honor, Yet keep humility. Be the valley of the universe! Being the valley of the universe, Ever true and resourceful, Return to the state of the uncarved block.

The skillful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels.

When merit has been achieved, do not take it to yourself; for if you do not take it to yourself, it shall never be taken from you.

Act without striving. Work without interfering. Find the flavour in what is flavourless.
