There are many paths to enlightenment. Be sure to take the one with a heart.

The progress of the Way seems retreating.

Is not the action of nature like the stretching of a bow? The high, it pulls down; the low, it lifts up; It takes from what is in excess In order to make good of what is deficient. Who can take what they have in excess and offer it to others?

All things in the world come from being. And being comes from non-being.

Highest good is like water. Because water excels in benefiting the myriad creatures without contending with them and settles where none would like to be, it comes closest to the way.

How can a man's life keep it's course If he will not let it flow, Those who flow as life flows know They need no other force: They feel no wear, they feel no tear, They need no mending, no repair.

Take [preventive] action before things happen. Establish order before disorder has begun.
