"Thirty spokes converge at the hub: Where there is nothing There lies what makes the cart useful. Mix clay to make a vessel: Where there is nothing There lies what makes the vessel useful. Chisel doors and windows to make a house: Where there is nothing There lies what makes the house useful. Thus things bring benefits; Nothingness brings usefulness."

Chisel doors and windows to make a house: Where there is nothing There lies what makes the house useful. Thus things bring benefits; Nothingness brings usefulness."
