If I have just an ounce of sense, I follow the great Way, and fear only to stray from it.
Pursue without interfering.
Nothing on earth is so weak and yielding as water, but for breaking down the firm and strong it has no equal.
The Tao of the sage is work without effort.
When the intelligent and animal souls are held together in one embrace, they can be kept from separating.
Be merciful, moderate, and modest.
