Some words from Lau tzu
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."
"Sincere words are not sweet,
Sweet words are not sincere.
Good men are not argumentative,
the argumentative are not good.
The wise are not erudite,
the erudite are not wise.
The sage does not take to hoarding.
The more he gives for others, the fuller is his life.
The more he gives, the more he abounds.
The way of heaven is to benefit, not to harm.
The way of the sage is to do his duty,
not to strive with anyone."
-Ch 81 of the Tao te ching-
"The movement of the tao consists in returning.
The use of the tao consists in softness.
All things under heaven are born of the corporeal:
The corporeal is born of the incorporeal."
-Ch 40-
"When all the world recognizes beauty as beauty,
this in itself is ugliness.
When all the world recognizes good as good,
this in itself is evil.
Indeed, the hidden and the mannifest give birth to each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short exhibit each other.
High and low set measure to each other.
Voice and sound harmonize each other.
Back and front follow each other.
Therefore, the sage manages his affairs without ado,
and spreads his teaching without talking.
He denies nothing to the teeming things.
He rears them, but lays no claim to them.
He does his work, but sets no store by it.
He accomplishes his task, but does not dwell upon it.
And yet it is just because he does not dwell upon it that nobody can ever take it away from him."
-ch 2-
"love is the law, love under will."
