Laozi
The Tao doesn't take sides it gives birth to both good and evil. The Master doesn't take sides she welcomes both saints and sinners. The Tao is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the more it produces the more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold on to the center.
