Excerpt From The Tao Te Ching
The sage had no mind of his own
He is aware of the needs of others
The sage is shy and humble
All things arise from Tao
They are nourished by nature
The beginning of the universe
Is the mother of all things
Keep your mouth shut
Guard the senses
Using the outer light
Return to insight
What is firmly established cannot be uprooted
Cultivate virtue in yourself
His bones are soft
His muscles weak
But his grip his strong
It is not wise to rush about
If too much energy is used
Exhaustion follows
Those who know do not talk
Those who talk do not know
