“Constant action overcomes cold; being still overcomes heat.”

“Тhe gentle overcomes the rigid.The slow overcomes the fast.The weak overcomes the strong."…"Everyone knows that the yielding overcomes the stiff,and the soft overcomes the hard.Yet no one applies this knowledge.”

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

“The soft overcomes the hard; and the weak the strong.”

“he who overcomes himself is mighty.”

“He who overcomes others is strong;”

“The softest thing in the world dashes against and overcomes the hardest; that which has no (substantial) existence enters where there is no crevice.”
