TAO SIXTEEN
Empty your mind of all thoughts
Let your heart be at peace
Watch the turmoil of beings,
But contemplate their return.
Each separate being in the universe
Returns to the common source
Returning to the source is serenity
If you don't realize the source,
You stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
You naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused, Kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the great Tao,
You can deal with whatever life brings you,
And when the afterlife comes, you are ready.
LAO TSU.

THIRTY
Whenever you advise a ruler in the way of Tao,
Counsel him not to use force to conquer the universe.
For this would only cause resistance.
Thorn bushes spring up wherever the army has passed.
Learn years follow in the wake of a great war.
Just do what needs to be done.
Never take advantage of power.
Achieve results,
But never glory in them.
Achieve results,
But never boast.
Achieve results,
But never be proud.
Achieve results,
Because this is the natural way.
Achieve results,
But not through violence.
Force is followed by loss of strength.
This is not the way of Tao.
That which goes against the Tao
comes to an early end.
