“Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear.”

“Who can (make) the muddy water (clear)?”

“Let it be still, and it will gradually become clear.”

“Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear?”

“Do you have the patience to wait Till your mud settles and the water is clear?Can you remain unmovingTill the right action arises by itself?”

“In harmony with the Tao,the sky is clear and spacious,the earth is solid and full,all creatures flourish together,content with the way they are,endlessly repeating themselves,endlessly renewed.when man interferes with the Taothe sky becomes filthy,the earth becomes depleted,the equilibrium crumbles,creatures become extinct.”

“He who stands on tiptoe doesn't stand firm.He who rushes ahead doesn't go far.He who tries to shine dims his own light.He who defines himselfcan't know who he really is.He who has power over others can't empower himself.He who clings to his work will create nothing that endures.If you want to accord with the Tao,just do your job, then let go.”
