One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.

Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.

Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.

Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it
