Tao Te Ching Excerpt Verse 62:

If someone seems wicked,
Do not cast them away.
Awaken them with words;
Elevate them with deeds;
Repay injury with kindness;
Do not cast them away,
just cast away the wickedness.

Tao Te Ching Excerpt Verse 61:

A great county is like the lowland,
toward which all streams flow...

The feminine wins over the masculine with stillness ...

So if a great counter lowers itself before a small one,
it wins with friendship and trust.

If a small country lowers itself before a great one,
it will also win over that great country.

The one wins by stooping;
the other by remaining low.
