Tao Te Ching
when its work succeeds it makes no claim it has no desires
Red Pine • Lao-tzu's Taoteching
Tao Te Ching that says "nature is never in a hurry, yet everything is accomplished."
In the pursuit of knowledge, every day something is added. In the practice of the Tao [Way], every day something is dropped. Less and less do you need to force things, until finally you arrive at non-action. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
Martha Beck • The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self
can you serve and govern without effort
Red Pine • Lao-tzu's Taoteching
thus does the sage declare I make no effort and the people transform themselves I stay still and the people correct themselves I do no work and the people enrich themselves I want nothing and the people simplify themselves
Red Pine • Lao-tzu's Taoteching
