道 德 經
Tao Teh Ching

Teh – Chapter 73

If you're brave in being daring, you'll be killed;
If you're brave in not being daring, you'll live.
With these two things, in one case there's profit, in the other there's harm.
The things Heaven hates – who knows why?
The Way of Heaven is not to fight yet to be good at winning –
Not to speak yet skillfully respond –
No one summons it, yet it comes on its own –
To be at ease yet carefully plan.
Heaven's net is large and vast;
Its mesh may be coarse yet nothing slips through.
