Tao Te Ching

Seventy

My words are very easy to know, and very easy to practise;
but there is no one in the world who is able to know and able to practise them.

There is an ancient and all-comprehending principle in my words,
and an authoritative law for my actions.
It is because they do not know these, that men do not know me.

They who know me are few, and I am on that account (the more) to be prized.
It is thus that the sage wears hair cloth,
while he carries his jade in his bosom.
