Explore "Tao Te Ching" by Lao-Tze on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When the world takes its beginning, Reason becomes the world's mother.
As one knows his mother, so she in turn knows her child; as she quickens her child, so he in turn keeps to his mother, and to the end of life he is not in danger. Who closes his mouth, and shuts his sense-gates, in the end of life he will encounter no trouble; but who opens his mouth and meddles with affairs, in the end of life he cannot be saved.
