Tao Te Ching 42
The Tao gave birth to One.
The One gave birth to Two.
The Two gave birth to Three.
The Three gave birth to all of creation.
All things carry Yin yet embrace Yang.
They blend their life breaths in order to produce harmony.
People despise being orphaned, widowed and poor.
But the noble ones take these as their titles.
In losing, much is gained, and, in gaining, much is lost.
What others teach I, too, will teach: 'The strong and violent will not die a natural death.'
Lao Tzu
