To lead, one must follow.

I alone have the mind of a fool, and am all muddled and vague. The people are so smart and bright. While I am just dull and confused.

To attain to the human form must always be a source of joy. And then to undergo continuous transitions, with only the infinite to look forward to: what incomparable bliss is that!

The Tao principle is what happens of itself.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

He (the sage) is good to those who are good. He is also good to those who are not good. That is the virtue of good.

What is and what is not create each other.
