Man takes his law from the Earth; the Earth takes its law from Heaven; Heaven takes its law from the Tao. The law of the Tao is its being what it is.
From Lao Tzu
Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength.
If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.
I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?
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.
Because of a great love, one is courageous.
