Tao Te Ching: Chapter : 25 : Beneath Abstraction
There is a mystery,
Beneath abstraction,
Silent, depthless,
Ubiquitous and liquid,
The mother of nature.It has no name, but I call it “the Way”;
It has no limit, but I call it “limitless”.Being limitless, it flows away forever;
Flowing away forever, it returns to my self:The Way is limitless,
So nature is limitless,
So the world is limitless,
And so I am limitless.For I am abstracted from the world,
The world from nature,
Nature from the Way,
And the Way from what is beneath abstraction.
Lao Tzu (570-490 BC).

Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life,
and that happiness,
not pain or mindless self-indulgence,
is
the proof of your moral integrity,
since it is the proof and the result
of
your loyalty to the achievement of your values.

Hearing of the mistaken action of another, advise yourself not to emulate it.

Tao Te Ching: Chapter : 24 : Indulgence
Those who stand on their toes are not steady.
Those who take long steps cannot keep the pace.
Such people are surplus provisions and useless actions.
They are rejected by many.
Therefore:
Those who follow the Way do not remain with them.
Lao Tzu (570-490 BC).
