Act without doing; work without effort.
Think of the small as large; and the few as many.
Confront the difficult while it is still easy; accomplish the great task by a series of small acts.
The Master never reaches for the great; thus she achieves greatness.
When she runs into a difficulty, she stops and gives herself to it.
She doesn’t cling to her own comfort; thus problems are no problem for her.
tao te ching translated by Stephen Mitchell #63
