Laozi
Thirty spokes meet in the hub, but the empty space between them is the essence of the wheel. Pots are formed from clay, but the empty space within it is the essence of the pot. Walls with windows and doors form the house, but the empty space within it is the essence of the home.

The softest in the world surpasses the hardest in the world.
Laozi
Try to change it and you will ruin it. Try to hold it and you will lose it.
Laozi
Fame of self: Which matters more? Self or wealth: Which is more precious? Gain or loss: Which is more painful?
Laozi
Heaven's Way gives no favors. It always remains with good people.
Laozi
No disaster is worse than being discontented.
Laozi
