The sage regards things as difficult, and thereby avoids difficulty.
Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.
The Way to do is to be.
A sound man is good at salvage, at seeing nothing is lost
There is something obscure which is complete before heaven and earth arose; tranquil, quiet, standing alone without change, moving without peril. It could be the mother of everything. Not knowing its name, I call it Tao.
Purity and stillness give the correct law to all under heaven.
