The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms.
High and low rest on each other.
Water does not force its way.
Do not strive for the shine of jade, but clatter like stone.
What is well rooted cannot be pulled up. What is firmly grasped will not slip loose. It will be honoured from generation to generation.
Strong winds do not last all morning, hard rains do not last all day.
