Lao - Tseu

Requite injury with kindness. To the good I would be good; to the evil would also be good, in order to make them good. With the faitful I would keep faith; with the unfaithful I would also keep faith, in order that they may become faithful.

He who has no faith in others will find no faith in them.
Keep behind, and you shall be put in front; he that humbles himself shall be preserved; he that bends shall be made straight.
He who is great makes humility his base.
He  who, conscious of being strong, is content to be weak, --he shall be the paragon of mankind.
To know, but to be as one not knowing, is the height of wisdom.
The Sage knows what is in him but makes no display; he respects himself, but seeks no honor for himself.
All things in nature work silently; they come into being and possess nothing; they fulfil their function and make no claim.
All things alike do their work, and then we see them subside. When they have reached their bloom each returns to its origin.
Returning to their origin means rest,   or fulfillment of destiny.
This reversion is an eternal law.  To know that law it wisdom.
Do nothing by self-will, but rather conform to the infinite Will, and everything will be done for you.
