Laws of Tao-random teachings

A journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step.

Those who know, do not speak.  And those who speak do not know.

Only the one who has the tao offers his surplus to others. The Master can
keep on giving because there is no end to his wealth. He acts without expectation,
succeeds without taking credit, and does not think he is better than anyone else.

The 81st verse of the Tao Te Ching

True words are not beautiful. Beautiful words are not true. Good men do not argue, those who argue are not good. Those who have virtue do not look for faults, those who look for faults do not have virtue. Sages do not accumulate anything, but give everything to others. Having more, the more they give. Heaven [the tao] does good to all, doing no evil to anyone. The sage imitates it, acting for the good of all and opposing himself to no one.
