Tao – Chapter 23

To rarely speak – such is the way of Nature.
Fierce winds don't last the whole morning;
Torrential rains don't last the whole day.
Who makes these things?
If even Heaven and Earth can't make these last long –
How much the more is this true for man?!

Therefore, one who devotes himself to the Way is one with the Way;
One who devotes himself to Virtue is one with that Virtue;
And one who devotes himself to losing is one with that loss.
To the one who is one with Virtue, the Way also gives Virtue;
While for the one who is one with his loss, the Way also disregards him.
