Tao Te Ching 36

 Tao Te Ching 36

If you want something to return to the source, you must first allow it to spread out.

If you want something to weaken, you must first allow it to become strong.

If you want something to be removed, you must first allow it to flourish.

If you want to possess something, you must first give it away.

This is called the subtle understanding of how things are meant to be.

The soft and pliable overcomes the hard and inflexible.

Just as fish remain hidden in deep waters, it is best to keep weapons out of sight.

Lao Tzu
