Poem
from Real Power: Business Lessons from the Tao Te Ching
From
the Tao Te Ching
The
Tao doesn't take sides;
it gives birth to both good and evil.
The Master doesn't take sides;
she welcomes both saints and sinners.
The
Tao is like a bellows:
it is empty yet infinitely capable.
The more you use it, the more it produces:
the more you talk of it, the less you understand.
Hold
on to the center.
- Lao Tzu, trans. Stephen
Mitchell, ch. 42 Real Power: Business Lessons from the Tao Te
Ching by James Autry & Stephen Mitchell.
