Entering the Tao is so deep that what you see is so vast. All things are born between heaven and earth. Their principles cannot be generalized.
Use talents to control things, talents are exhausted and things are endless; use Tao to respond to things, Tao is infinite but things are endless; follow reason to seek Tao, let go of the beauty and collect the truth; the strength of a moment depends on strength, the victory or defeat of the ages depends on reason, in the affairs of the world, reason prevails over force, and strength prevails over reason.
Success depends on reason, not force, and convincing people is based on sincerity rather than words.
Those who are good at fighting do not get angry, those who are good at winning do not fight, those who are good at thinking do not speak, and those who are good at meekness do not argue.
