Hold on to the ancient Way to master the present, and to learn the distant beginning.
Water does not force its way.
Throw away sacredness and wisdom and people will be one hundred times happier.
Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful. Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions.
He who does not trust enough will not be trusted.
If the sage wants to stand above people, he must speak to them from below. If he wants to lead people, he must follow them from behind.
