Laozi
He who knows how to be aggressive, and yet remains patient, becomes a receptacle for all of Nature's lessons.
Laozi
He who gains a victory over other men is strong but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.

If your virtue is especially radiant, it can be possible to open a pathway to the subtle realm and receive these celestial teachings directly from the immortals.
Laozi
... These are notions of the mind, which is like a knife, always chipping away at the Tao, trying to render it graspable and manageable. But that which is beyond form is ungraspable, and that which is beyond knowing is unmanageable. There is, however, this consolation She who lets go of the knife will find the Tao at her fingertips.
Laozi
