The Strength of Softness

Men are born soft and supple;
in death, they are stiff and hard.

Plants are born tender and pliant;
in death, they are brittle and dry.

Thus, whoever is stiff and inflexible
is a disciple of death.

Whoever is soft and yielding
is a disciple of life.

The hard and rigid will be broken.
The soft and supple will prevail.

Lao Tzu
