Tao Te Ching 62
The Tao is the tabernacle of creation, it is a treasure for those who are good, and a place of refuge for those who are not.
How can those who are not good be abandoned?
Words that are beautiful are worth much, but good behaviour can only be learned by example.
When a new leader takes office, don't give him gifts and offerings.
These things are not as valuable as teaching him about the Tao.
Why was the Tao esteemed by the ancient Masters?
It is not said: 'With it we find without looking. With it we find forgiveness for our transgressions.'
That is why the world cannot understand it.
Lao Tzu
