The beginning of Grace
"Act non-action. Be occupied with non-occupation. Taste the tasteless. Find your great in what is little, and your many in the few. Recompense injury with virtue (kindness). Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy. Manage the great things by taking them while they are small. The difficult things in the world must all originate in what is easy; and the great things in the world must all originate in what is small. Therefore the sage never attempts what is great, and hence he is able to accomplish great things. He who lightly assents will rarely keep his word. He who has many easy things will have many difficulties. Therefore the sage views things as difficult and never has any difficulty."
