Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.

Those who stand on their toes are not steady.

Accept disgrace willingly... Accept being unimportant... Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.

Of all things, none does not revere the Way and honor virtue. Reverence of the Way and honoring virtue were not demanded of them, but it is in their nature.

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve

Conquering the world and changing it, I do not think it can succeed.

The progress of the Way seems retreating.
