I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.

Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.

Translator: Mitchell, Stephen. (Harper Perennial)

The gentlest thing in the world
overcomes the hardest thing in the world.
That which has no substance
enters where there is no space.
This shows the value of non-action.

Teaching without words,
performing without actions:
that is the Master’s way.

Translator: Mitchell, Stephen. (Harper Perennial)

...
The soft overcomes the hard.
The slow overcomes the fast.
Let your workings remain a mystery.
Just show people the results.

Tao beveger seg
til alle kanter samtidig -
det er flytende og føyelig i sitt innerste vesen.

Tao er alle tings opphav under solen:
Og alt strømmer ut

av Ingenting.
