Number 23 from Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu
To talk little is natural.
High winds do not last all morning.
Heavy rain does not last all day.
Why is this? Heaven and earth!
If heaven and earth cannot make things eternal,
How is it possible for humans?
She who follows the Way
Is at one with the Way.
He who is virtuous
Experiences Virtue.
She who loses the way
Feels lost.
When you are at one with the Way,
The Way welcomes you.
When you are at one with Virtue,
The Virtue is always there.
When you are at one with loss,
The loss is experienced willingly.
He who does not trust enough
Will not be trusted.
