Have patience. Wait until the mud settles and the water is clear. Remain unmoving until right action arises by itself.
Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends. Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness.
The words of truth are always paradoxical.
The wise does not think that only he is right -thus he knows the truth.
Going on means going far, going far means returning.
Who can wait quietly until the mud settles? Who can remain still until the moment of action?
