ON CALM QUIETUDE:
THE HIGHEST PERFECTION IS LIKE IMPERFECTION,
AND ITS USE IS NEVER IMPAIRED.
THE GREATEST ABUNDANCE SEEMS MEAGRE,
AND ITS USE WILL NEVER FAIL.
WHAT IS MOST STRAIGHT APPEARS DEVIOUS,
THE GREATEST SKILL APPEARS LIKE CLUMSINESS,
THE GREATEST ELOQUENCE APPEARS LIKE STUTTERING. MOVEMENT OVERCOMES COLD,
(BUT) KEEPING STILL OVERCOMES HEAT
WHO IS CALM AND QUIET BECOMES THE GUIDE FOR THE UNIVERSE.
