"The great square has no corners. The great vessel takes a long time to complete. The great sound is faint. The great image has no form."

"Govern a state by justice, wage war by surprise, and take the world by doing nothing."

"Act without action. Those who act will fail. Those who seize will lose."

"When nothing is done, nothing is left undone."

"By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning."
