[The Master] doesn't glitter like a jewel... [but is] as rugged and common as a stone.
When much virtue is achieved, nothing is not overcome.
The master accomplishes more and more by doing less and less until finally he accomplishes everything by doing nothing.
The Tao is told is not the Tao.
When you accurately perceive the fluidity of things, you can also begin to perceive the constancy behind them: the creative, transformative, boundless, immutable Tao.
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
