道冲而用之
“The Tao is empty yet inexhaustible. Deep like the ancestor of all things. It blunts the sharp, untangles the tangled, softens the glare, and merges with the dust.”
道冲而用之或不盈，渊兮似万物之宗。挫其锐，解其纷，和其光，同其尘。湛兮似或存。吾不知谁之子，象帝之先。
True depth is quiet, unassuming. It does not need to prove itself. Like the Tao itself, the deepest people are often the most gentle.
