Under heaven nothing is more soft and yielding than water.

Yet for attacking the solid and the strong, nothing is better.

It has no equal.

The weak can overcome the strong.

The supple can overcome the stiff.

Under heaven, everyone knows this.

Yet no one puts it into practice.

Therefore the Sage says:

He who takes upon himself the humiliation of the people

is fit to rule them.

He who takes upon himself the country's disasters deserves

to be king of the universe.

The truth sounds paradoxical.

Tao Te Ching (Ch-78)

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
