To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go.
In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.
When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance.
Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.
Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner.
He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
Those who know when to stop do not find themselves in trouble.
