Explore "Tao Te Ching" by Lao-Tze on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
What (Tao's) skilful planter plants can never be uptorn; what his skilful arms enfold, from him can ne'er be borne. Sons shall bring in lengthening line, sacrifices to his shrine.
Tao when nursed within one's self, his vigour will make true; and where the family it rules what riches will accrue! the neighbourhood where it prevails in thriving will abound; and when 'tis seen throughout the state, Good fortune will be found. Employ it the kingdom o'er, and men thrive all around.
