Under heaven nothing is more soft and yielding than water.
Yet for attacking the solid and mighty, nothing is greater;
It has no equal.
The feeble can overcome the mighty;
The supple can overcome the hard.
Under heaven everyone knows this,
Yet no one practice it.
Therefore the wise says:
He who takes upon himself the shame of the people
is fit enough to rule them.
He who takes upon himself the country's adversity deserves to be
treated like the king of the universe.
The truth often sounds inexplicable.
LAO TSU.
