Tao Te Ching Chapter 9

Translation by John H. McDonald

It is easier to carry an empty cup

than one that is filled to the brim.

The sharper the knife

the easier it is to dull.

The more wealth you possess

the harder it is to protect.

Pride brings its own trouble.

When you have accomplished your goal

simply walk away.

This is the path way to Heaven.
