Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear.
Weapons are not proper instruments for gentle people; they use them only when they have no other choice. Peace and quiet are what they value. They do not glory in victory.
He who walks on tip-toe does not walk on solid ground.
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
Heaven is eternal and Earth everlasting. They can be eternal and everlasting because they do not exist for themselves, And for this reason can exist forever.
