"The unyielding army will not win...." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“He who hoards much loses much.”

“Can you gather your vital breath and yet be tender like a newborn baby?”

“Develop the strength of a man, but live as gently as a woman”

“The rigid tree will be felled.”

“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.”

“What has no substance can penetrate what has no opening.”

“To lose patience is to lose the battle.”

“With great victory comes great sacrifice.”

“As in no other form of lute or combat, the conditions are such; the winner takes nothing, neither his ease, nor his pleasure, nor any notion of glory, nor if he wins far enough, will he find anything within himself.”
