“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”

“Nature never hurries, yet everything is accomplished”

“When its work is accomplished, it does not claim the name of having done it.”

“The sage produces without possessing, acts without expectations, and accomplishes without abiding in her accomplishments. It is precisely because she does not abide in them that they never leave her.”

“Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things.”

“Accomplish but do not boast, accomplish without show, accomplish without arrogance, accomplish without grabbing, accomplish without forcing.”

“To speak little is natural. Therefore a gale does not blow a whole morning nor does a downpour last a whole day.”
