36

"If you desire to breathe deeply, you must first empty the lungs. If you desire to be strong, you must first learn to be weak. If you desire to be in a lofty position, you must first learn to take a lowly position. If you desire to be enriched by gifts, you must first give away all that you have. This is called concealment and enlightenment. The soft overcomes the hard. The weak overcomes the strong. Fish cannot swim safely in shallow waters. The secrets of government of a kingdom should not be revealed to the people."
