The Tao that can be spoken is not the true Tao.

He (the sage) wants all things to follow their own nature, but dares not act.
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
The Way to Heaven has no favorites. It is always with the good man.
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.
