"Tao Te Ching" is a classic of Chinese philosophical wisdom
道可道,非常道
'Dao' is not the same as the ordinary ‘road’ that people commonly refer to
天下皆知美之为美,斯恶矣
The 2nd chapter explains Laozi's perspective on relative values
知不知,尚矣 Kowing without arrogantly claiming knowledge is a great virtue
知人者智,自知者明. Understanding others leads to wisdom while understanding oneself brings enlightenment.
五色令人目盲 , 五音令人耳聋, An excess of colours dazzles the eyes; an excess of sounds impairs hearing...
祸兮,福之所倚; 福兮,祸之所伏 Oh calamity, fortune follows in its wake. Oh fortune, calamity hides within it.
是以圣人去甚, 去奢, 去泰 The sage eliminates extremes, luxury, and excess.
江海之所以能为百谷王者 The reason of rivers and seas can be the kings of all valleys.
