Lao Tzu 2

The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.

To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

By letting go it all gets done.

Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.

To a mind that is still the whole universe surrenders.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear.

There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent.

The Way to do is to be.

The best fighter is never angry.

Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.

Those who flow as life flows know they need no other  force.

Act without expectation.

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
