Laozi
Taoism, Overcoming, Heat
Laozi, Philip J. Ivanhoe (2003). “The Daodejing of Laozi”, p.48, Hackett Publishing

If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish. If you want to take something, you must first allow it to be given. This is called the subtler perception of the way things are. The soft overcomes the hard. The slow overcomes the fast. Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results.

Laozi
People, Perception, Overcoming

The Tao is always at ease. It overcomes without competing, answers without speaking a word, arrives without being summoned, accomplishes without a plan. Its net covers the whole universe. And though its meshes are wide, it doesn't let a thing slip through.

Laozi
Overcoming, Answers, Ease
