The classic Taoist sayings are:

1. The best thing is like water. Water is good for all things without dispute. "Tao Te Ching"

The main idea: The highest good is like water. Water is good at helping all things without competing with them.

2. Man follows the earth, earth follows the heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. "Tao Te Ching"

The main idea: Man takes the law and the earth, the earth takes the law and the sky, the sky takes the law and the way, and the way is pure and natural.

3. If there is a gap between heaven and earth in life, it will happen suddenly. "Zhuangzi·Zhibeiyou"

The main idea: Life between heaven and earth is like a white horse jumping over a small gap, just suddenly.

4. Generous without corners, late bloomer, loud voice, invisible elephant. "Tao Te Ching"

The main idea: The most square things cannot see their edges and corners, the more expensive the utensils are, the slower they are made, the loudest voices cannot be heard, and the largest images have no traces.

5. The wind does not last forever, and the showers last all day. "Tao Te Ching"

The main idea: A strong wind cannot blow all morning, and a heavy rain cannot last all day.
