Laozi — "To yield is to be preserved whole. To be bent is to be straightened. To be empty…"

To yield is to be preserved whole. To be bent is to be straightened. To be empty is to be filled. To be worn out is to be renewed. To have little is to gain. To have plenty is to be perplexed.
Laozi — Laozi Ancient · Founder of Taoism
