≈Beneath heaven nothing is more soft
and yielding than water.
Yet for attacking the solid and strong,
Nothing can take its place.
Therefore the soft can overcome the hard,
The weak can overwhelm the strong,
Under heaven everyone knows this,
Yet no one puts it into practice≈
≈What we mean by Tao
is the way or course of Nature.
This way has nothing good or bad,
it is a mere flowing of things following the development
and decline attributes of the moment≈.
Jhian Yang.
≈He who controls others may be powerful,
but he who has mastered himself is mightier still≈
Lao tzu.
≈If you want to nourish a bird,
you should let it live any way it chooses.
Creatures differ because
they have different likes and dislikes.
Therefore the sages never require
the same ability from all creatures. . .
concepts of right should be founded
on what is suitable.
The true saint leaves wisdom to the ants,
takes a cue from the fishes,
and leaves willfulness to the sheep≈
Chuang tzu.
≈What the caterpillar calls the end,
the rest of the world calls a butterfly≈
Lao tzu
≈A Clear mind comes
from the wonderful fundamental essence
given us by nature
and is not a personal possession.
Impartiality beyond any specific culture
fosters clarity and deeper seeing.
It is not hard to produce wisdom...
what is hard is to have wisdom not interrupted≈

≈Without going out of your door,
You can know the ways of the world.
Without peeping through your window,
you can see the Way of Heaven.
The farther you go, The less you know.
Thus, the Sage knows without traveling,
Sees without looking,
And achieves without struggle≈
Lao Tse.
