"What is most consummate seems defective, Yet using it does not wear it out. What is fullest seems empty, Yet using it does not use it up. What is truest seems crooked; What is most skillful seems bungling; What is most prosperous seems wanting. What is most eloquent seems halting. Staying active beats the cold, Keeping still beats the heat. Purity and stillness can bring proper order to the world."
