The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most successful manager leads without dictating. This is intelligent non aggressiveness.

Do not conquer the world with force, for force only causes resistance. Thorns spring up when an army passes. Years of misery follow a great victory. Do only what needs to be done without using violence.

The most fundamental seems fickle.

The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, Having bestowed all he has on others, he has yet more; having given all he has to others, he is richer still.

That which offers no resistance, overcomes the hardest substances.

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Can you step back from your own mind and thus understand all things?
