Bab 280: "Mon Amour...": Two Ways To Verbally Express Love

"He who wishes to take control of the world and acts upon it,

I can see that he will not succeed.

For the world is a divine vessel,

It cannot be acted upon as one wish.

He who acts on it fails.

He who holds on to it loses.

Therefore some things move forward while some follow behind.

Some try to warm with exhaled air while some try to blow it cold.

Some are strong while some are weak.

Some are successfully accomplished while some are declined and failed.

Thus, the saint avoids all extremes, extravagance, and pride." -Tao Te Ching Chapter 29
