If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you aren't afraid of dying, there is nothing you can't achieve. Trying to control the future is like trying to take the master carpenter's place. When you handle the master carpenter's tools, chances are that you'll cut your hand.
LaoziThe Sage expects no recognition for what he does; he achieves merit but does not take it to himself; he does not wish to display his worth.
