Tao Te Ching,Chapter Two

Beauty and mercy are only recognized by people
Because they know the opposite, which is ugly and mean.

If the people think they know goodness
Then all they really know is what evil is like!

Nothing, and Heaven
............share the same root -
Difficulty and ease are a part of all work.

The long and the short are in your hands,
Above and below exist because they each do,
What you want and what you say should be the same.
Neither future nor past can exist alone.

The sage has no attachment to anything
and he therefore does what is right without speaking
by simply being
..........in the Tao

Chapter three

Life, all life
.......began without words.

Life is made -- and no one owns it.

The Tao is neither selfish nor proud.

The Tao is generous and graceful in what it does
Without ever claiming any merit.

And the sage's greatness lies
in taking no credit.

[What do I believe? I don't yet know. To lean on a heavily-abused clich‚, I'm on a quest for the Tao or whatever; a seeker-after-truth]

Good Luck!
