Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.

Creating without claiming, Doing without taking credit, Guiding without interfering, This is Primal Virtue.

...The sage works without recognition. He achieves what has to be done without dwelling on it. He does not try to show his knowledge.

In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.

. . . Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom.

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

To know that you do not know is the best. To pretend to know when you do not know is disease.

To know you have enough is to be rich.

Practice non-action. Work without doing.

He who knows that enough is enough; will always have enough.
