"Doing nothing is better than being busy..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“A good mooring needs no knot, still no one can untie it.”

“The softest in the world surpasses the hardest in the world.”

“Through return to simple living comes control of desires. In control of desires stillness is attained. In stillness the world is restored.”

“A good athlete can enter a state of body-awareness in which the right stroke or the right movement happens by itself, effortlessly, without any interference of the conscious will. This is a paradigm for non-action: the purest and most effective form of action. The game plays the game; the poem writes the poem; we can't tell the dancer from the dance. It happens when we trust the intelligence of the universe in the same way that an athlete or a dancer trusts the superior intelligence of the body.”

“He who acts, spoils; he who grasps, lets slip.”

“Practice not-doing and everything will fall into place.”

“There is nothing worse than doing the wrong thing well.”

“We spend a lot of time teaching leaders what to do. We don't spend enough time teaching leaders what to stop. Half the leaders I have met don't need to learn what to do. They need to learn what to stop”

“If language is not rectified, words do not correspond to meaning, and if words do not correspond to meaning, our deeds cannot be accomplished.”
