Book VII.  Aphorisms  

76.  Hard and Soft  

When man is born, he is tender and weak; 
At death, he is hard and stiff. 
When the things and plants are alive, they are soft  and supple; 
When they are dead, they are brittle and dry. 
Therefore hardness and stiffness are the companions of death, 
And softness and gentleness are the companions of life. 

Therefore when an army is headstrong, it will lose in a battle. 
When a tree is hard, it will be cut down. 
The big and strong belong underneath. 
The gentle and weak belong at the top

Book VI.  The Theory of Government  

57.  The Art of Government  

Rule a kingdom by the Normal. 
Fight a battle by (abnormal) tactics of surprise. 
Win the world by doing nothing. 
How do I know it is so? 

Through this: - 
The more prohibitions there are, 
The poorer the people become. 
The more sharp weapons there are, 
The greater the chaos in the state. 
The more skills of technique, 
The more cunning things are produced. 
The greater the number of statutes, 
The greater the number of thieves and brig

Book V. The Conduct of Life  

41. Qualities of the Taoist  

When the highest type of men hear the Tao (truth), 
They try hard to live in accordance with it. 
When the mediocre type hear the Tao, 
They seem to be aware and yet unaware of it. 
When the lowest type hear the Tao, 
They break into loud laughter - 
If it were not laughed at, it would not be Tao. 

Therefore there is the established saying:

Book IV. The Source of Power  

26. Heaviness and Lightness  

The Solid is the root of the light; 
The Quiescent is the master of the Hasty. 

Therefore the Sage travels all day 
Yet never leaves his provision-cart. 
In the midst of honor and glory, 
He lives leisurely, undisturbed. 

How can the ruler of a great country 
Make light of his body in the empire (by rushing about)? 
In light frivolity, the Center is lost; 
In hasty action, self-mastery is lost. 
 

27.  On Stealing the Light &nb

Book III. The Imitation of Tao   

14. Prehistoric Origins  

Looked at, but cannot be seen - 
That is called the Invisible (yi). 
Listened to, but cannot be heard - 
That is called the Inaudible (hsi). 
Grasped at, but cannot be touched - 
That is called the Intangible (wei). 
These three elude our inquiries 
And hence blend and become One. 

Not by its rising, is there light, 
Nor by its sinking, is there darkness. 
Unceasing, continuous, 
It cannot be defined, 
And reverts again to the realm

Book II. The Lessons of Tao   

7. Living for Others  

The universe is everlasting. 
The reason the universe is everlasting 
Is that it does not life for Self. 
Therefore it can long endure. 

Therefore the Sage puts himself last, 
And finds himself in the foremost place; 
Regards his body as accidental, 
And his body is thereby preserved. 
Is it not because he does not live for Self 
That his Self is realized? 
 

8.  Water  

The best of men is like water; 
Wate

Lao Tzu

Book I. The Character of Tao    

1. On the Absolute Tao   

The Tao the can be told of 
Is not the Absolute Tao; 
The Names that can be given 
Are not Absolute Names. 

The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; 
The Named is the Mother of All Things. 

Therefore: 
Oftentimes, one strips oneself of passion 
In order to see the Secret of Life; 
Oftentimes, one regards life with passion, 
In order to see its manifest forms. 

These two (the Secret and its ma
