Daodejing, Verse 58

Daodejing - Other Voices

This chapter can be said in lots of ways, it relates to a previous one about not trying to meddle too much in life. My favourite way to sum this up is with the classic line;

"Rule a nation like you would cook small fish."

That is don't interfere too much, and don't overdo anything.
