A summary of famous sayings about wise men is as follows
1. Be close to the heart of a great man.
2. Don’t exaggerate.
3. Forever. The reason why heaven and earth can be long-lasting is because they do not generate themselves, so they can live forever. Therefore, the saint comes first after his body, and his body exists outside his body. Isn’t it because of his selflessness? Therefore, it can be done privately. ——"Tao Te Ching·Chapter 7"
4. He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise. He who conquers others is powerful, and he who conquers himself is strong. He who is content is rich. ——"Tao Te Ching·Chapter 33"
5. Know the male and guard the female, and become the stream of the world. For the world's stream, everlasting virtue will never leave, and return to the baby. Knowing its whiteness and keeping its humiliation, it is the valley of the world. For the valley of the world, constant virtue is enough, and return to simplicity. Know its whiteness and guard its blackness, this is the way of the world. It is the style of the world, always virtuous but not too late, and returns to the infinite. The simple powder is used as a weapon, and when a saint uses it, he becomes an official, so great wisdom cannot be cut off. ——"Tao Te Ching·Chapter 28"
