“One should avoid assertion (wu wei) and practice inaction. One should learn to find taste in the tasteless, to enlarge the small things, and multiply the few. He should respond to hatred with kindness. He should resolve a difficulty while it is easy, and manage a great thing while it is small. Surely all the world’s difficulties arose from slight causes, and all the world’s great affairs had small beginnings. Therefore the wise man avoids to the end participation in great affairs and by so doing establishes his greatness.”
