Kindle Notes & Highlights
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
Therefore the wise are guided by what they feel and not by what they see, Letting go of that and choosing this.
Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.
Knowing others is wisdom; Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Therefore truly great people dwell on what is real and not what is on the surface,
Those who are contented are never disappointed.
There is no greater sin than craving, No greater curse than discontent, No greater misfortune than wanting something for ourselves. Therefore those who know that enough is enough will always have enough.
In the pursuit of learning, something is acquired every day. In the pursuit of the Tao, every day something is relinquished.
Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know.
In caring for others and serving heaven, There is nothing like using restraint.
If you would guide the people, you must serve with humility. If you would lead them, you must follow behind.
