The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world.Through this I know the advantage of taking no action.

When the highest type of men hear Tao,They diligently practice it.When the average type of men hear Tao,They half believe in it.When the lowest type of men hear Tao,They laugh heartily at it.Without the laugh, there is no Tao.
To have little is to possess.To have plenty is to be perplexed.
To be worn out is to be renewed.
He who knows others is wise;He who know himself is enlightened.
Manifest plainness,Embrace simplicity,Reduce selfishness,Have few desires.
He who loves the world as his body may be entrusted with the empire.
The best [man] is like water.Water is good; it benefits all things and does not compete with them.It dwells in [lowly] places that all disdain.This is why it is so near to Tao.
