Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength.
LaoziHealth is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
LaoziMan, when living, is soft and tender; when dead, he is hard and tough. All animals and plants when living are tender and delicate; when dead they become withered and dry. Therefore it is said: the hard and tough are parts of death; the soft and tender are parts of life.
Laozi
