Tao Speaks: My Favorite Passage

My Favorite Passage

I was wondering what passages you liked the most from the Tao Te Ching. If you say "All passages are the same and to like one more than another is to say that one is better than another, which is not, yet is" then you're missing the point of the exercise.

Oh the one I like the most is Chapter 28, the one that begins:

Know the masculine,
Keep to the feminine,
And be the brook of the world.
