What is secure is easily grasped, What has no omens is easily forstalled, What is brittle is easily split, What is miniscule is easily dispersed. Act before there is a problem, Bring order before there is disorder. A tree that fills the arms' embrace is born from a downy shoot; A terrace nine layers high starts from a basketful of earth, An ascent of a hundred strides begins beneath one's foot. Who acts fails; Who grasps loses. For this reason The sage does not act, Therefore, He does not fail. He does not grasp; Therefore, He does not lose. Lao Tzu |
