Tao Te Ching                72
 
When men lack a sense of awe, there will be disaster.

Do not intrude in their homes.
Do not harrass them at work.
If you do not interfere, they will not weary of you.

Therefore the sage knows himself but makes no show,
Has self-respect but is not arrogant.
He lets go of that and chooses this.

From the Tao Te Ching

18

When the great Tao is forgotten,
Kindness and morality arise.
When wisdom and intelligence are born,
The great pretence begins.

When there is no peace within the family,
Filial piety and devotion arise.
When the country is confused and in chaos,
Loyal ministers appear.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

The day when we shall know exactly what “electricity” is, will chronicle an event probably greater, more important than any other recorded in the history of the human race. The time will come when the comfort, the very existence, perhaps, of man will depend upon that wonderful agent.

the cycle


From the Tao Te Ching

Return is the movement of the way;
yielding is the function of the Way.
All things in the world are born of being;
being is born of non-being

Beginnings


What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”

Which is superior, 
The grass or the mower?
-EB

Is the natural beauty of the grass with its graceful biology superior, or is the machinery of the mower better because it can chop the grass down?
