holism in the attic

"Better to stop short than fill to the brim"

"Practice non-action.
Work without doing.
Taste the tasteless.
Magnify the small, increase the few.
Reward bitterness with care.
See simplicity in the complicated.
Achieve greatness in little things."

"Heaven and Earth are impartial;"

"Give up ingenuity, renounce profit,
And bandits and thieves will disappear."

"Truthful words are not beautiful.
Beautiful words are not truthful."

"The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth.
The named is the mother of the ten thousand things."

"My words are easy to understand and easy to perform,
Yet no man under heaven knows them or practices them."
