There is a thing inherent and natural which existed before heaven and earth. Motionless and fathomless, It stands alone and never changes It pervades everywhere and never becomes exhausted.

Laozi
The best leaders are those their people hardly know exist. The next best is a leader who is loved and praised. Next comes the one who is feared. The worst one is the leader that is despised ... The best leaders value their words, and use them sparingly. When they have accomplished their task, the people say, Amazing! We did it, all by ourselves!
Laozi
In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In daily life, be competent. In action, be aware of the time and the season.
Laozi
Is not the action of nature like the stretching of a bow? The high, it pulls down the low, it lifts up It takes from what is in excess In order to make good of what is deficient. Who can take what they have in excess and offer it to others?
Laozi
That, which others compress - will widen up and open. That, which others weaken - will strengthen. That, which others destroy - will blossom. Whoever wished to take something from the other, will inevitably loose his own.
Laozi
Do nothing, and leave nothing undone. [Doing nothing is what happens when the doer disappears, it isn't something that one does or chooses not to do.]
Laozi
