  2. An obsession with success is also an obsession with failure.
    #LaoTzu, #TaoTeChing, Verse 13 (paraphrase) #Tao #Taoism #Taoist #Laozi #Daodejing #Dao #Daoism #Daoist

  3. "Great support seems deficient,
    Employed it will not collapse;
    Great buoyancy seems empty,
    Utilized it will not be exhausted.
    Great honesty seems corrupt,
    Great skills seem incompetent,
    Great orations seem inarticulate."

  7. When you try too hard, you defeat your own purpose. Cling to stuff, and you will suffer loss. The Masters make no effort, so they never fail. They aren't attached to things, so they never feel loss.

  8. The greater the attachment, the more acute the suffering. The greater the hoard, the more damaging the loss.
