the I-Ching 

1.
The movement of heaven is full of power.
Thus the superior man makes himself strong and untiring.
The earth's condition is receptive devotion.
Thus the superior man who has breadth of character carries the outer world.
2.
A great man is one who is in harmony, in his attributes, with heaven and earth; in his brightness, with the sun and the moon; in his orderly procedure, with the four seasons; and in his relation to fortune and misfortune, in harmony with the spirit-like operations .
3.
When changes take place in a proper way, occasions for repentance will disappear.
4.
Old days, when Baoxi had come to the rule of all under heaven, looking up he contemplated the brilliant forms exhibited in the sky, and looking down he surveyed the patterns shown on the earth. He contemplated the ornamental appearances of birds and beasts and the different suitabilities of the soil. Near at hand, in his own person, he found things for consideration, and the same at a distance, in things in general.
5.
The family that accumulates goodness is sure to have abundant happiness, and the family that accumulates evil is sure to have abundant misery.

6.
Occupy a high position without pride, and you will be free from worries in a low position.
7.
If rulers frame their measures according to regulations, the resources of the state suffer no injury, and the people receive no hurt. 
8.
En edsfaafdsIf a ruler does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers. If a minister does not keep secrets, he will lose his life. If important matters in the germ are not kept secret, there will be harm to their accomplishment.
9.
The superior man keeps his weapon concealed about his person, and waits for the proper time to act.
10.
The gentleman must work hard to cultivate his moral character and enrich his knowledge. His real-heartedness and good faith are the way by which he advances in virtue. His attention to his words and his sincerity are the way by which he establishes himself.
11.
A man of virtue neither fawns on those who are superior to him, nor slights those who are inferior.
12.
The gentleman learns and accumulates the results of his learning; puts questions and discriminates among those results; dwells magnanimously and unambitiously in what he has attained to; and carries it into practice with benevolence.
13.
When he sees what is good, the gentleman  looks up to it; and when he sees his errors, he  corrects them.
14.
When he sees what is good, the gentleman  looks up to it; and when he sees his errors, he  corrects them.
15.
That which is antecedent to the material form is known as an ideal method; and that which is subsequent to the material form is known as a definite thing.
16.
The vile man thinks that small acts of goodness are of no benefit, and does not do them; and that small deeds of evil do no harm, and does not abstain from them. Hence his wickedness becomes great till it cannot be covered, and his guilt becomes great till it cannot be pardoned. 
17.
The words in agreement diffuse fragrance like orchid plants.
The strong and the weak  displace each other, and produce the changes and transformations .

 

 

TaoTeChing

19.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.


20.
The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name.
