' Tao Te Ching '...

In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired.
In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.

Less and less is done
Until non-action is achieved.
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.

The world is ruled by letting things take their course.
It cannot be ruled by interfering.



- Lao-tzu
Tao Te Ching
Translation by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English
