Lao Tzu
Trying to understand is like straining through muddy water. Have the patience to wait! Be still and allow the mud to settle.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Lao Tzu
Rushing into action, you fail. Trying to grasp things, you lose them. Forcing a project to completion, you ruin what was almost ripe. Therefore the Master takes action by letting things take their course. He remains as calm at the end as at the beginning. He has nothing, thus has nothing to lose. What he desires is non-desire; what he learns is to unlearn. He simply reminds people of who they have always been. He cares about nothing but the Tao. Thus he can care for all things.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
