"Sparse speech is natural Thus strong wind does not last all morning Sudden rain does not last all day What makes this so? Heaven and earth Even heaven and earth cannot make it last How can humans? Thus those who follow the Tao, are with the Tao Those who follow virtue, are with virtue Those who follow loss, are with loss Those who are with the Tao, the Tao is also pleased to have them Those who are with virtue, virtue is also pleased to have them Those who are with loss, loss is also please to have them Those who do not trust sufficiently, others have no trust in them"
