Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 43

The softest thing in the universe
Overcomes the hardest thing in the universe.
That without substance can enter where there is no room.
Hence I know the value of non-action.

Teaching without words and work without doing
Are understood by very few.


(translation by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English)
