“To bear and not to own; to act and not lay claim; to do the work and let it go: for just letting it go is what makes it stay.”
“Let movement go on, and the condition of rest will gradually arise.”
“Go to the people. Live with them. Learn from them. Love them. Startwith what they know. Build with what they have. But with the bestleaders, when the work is done, the task accomplished, the people willsay 'We have done this ourselves.”
“With no desire, at rest and still, All things go right as of their will.”
“When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.”
“As to the roaming of sages,They move in utter emptiness,Let their minds meander in the great nothingness;They run beyond conventionAnd go through where there is no gateway.They listen to the soundlessAnd look at the formless,They are not constrained by societyAnd not bound to its customs.- Lao-tzu”
