Verse 01
Lao-tzu’s Tao Teching
Interpreted by Red Pine
The most yielding thing in the world
will overcome the most rigid
The most empty thing in the world
will overcome the most full
From this comes a lesson—
Stillness benefits more than action
Silence benefits more than wordsv
Rare indeed are those who are still
Rare indeed are those who are silent
And so I say,
Rare indeed are those
who obtain the bounty of this world
Lao-tzu’s Tao Teching

There! In front of me.
