Becuase the Master believes in himself, he doesn't try to convince otheres.

The Master understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao.

The Master does his job and then stops.

Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself.

For every force there is a counterforce.

Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men doesn't try to force issues or defeat enemies by force of arms.

The Master lets things go their own way, and resides at the center of the cirlce.

The Master see things as they are, without trying to control them.

There is a time for being safe, a time for being in danger.

There is a time for being vigorous, a time for being exhausted.
