He who stands on tiptoe is not steady.
He who strides cannot maintain the pace.

He who brags will not endure.

"Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know."
~Lao Tzu~
The living are soft and yielding;
the dead are rigid and stiff.
Living plants are flexible and tender;
the dead are brittle and dry.
Those who are stiff and rigid
are the disciple of death.
Those who are soft and yielding
are the disciples of life.
The rigid and stiff will be broken.
The soft and yielding will overcome.
We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.
To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go.
When you accept yourself, the whole world accepts you.
