Loss is not as bad as wanting more.
If you understand others you are smart. If you understand yourself you are illuminated. If you overcome others you are powerful. If you overcome yourself you have strength. If you know how to be satisfied you are rich. If you can act with vigor, you have a will. If you don't lose your objectives you can be long-lasting. If you die without loss, you are eternal.
Sometimes gain comes from losing, and sometimes loss comes from gaining.
Gain or loss, what is worse?
One's own self or material goods, which has more worth? Loss (of self) or possession (of goods), which is the greater evil? He who loves most, spends most, He who hoards much loses much
Force is followed by loss of strength. This is not the way of the Tao. That which goes against the Tao comes to an early end.
When you are one with loss, the loss is experienced willingly.
Express yourself completely, then keep quiet. Be like the forces of nature: when it blows, there is only wind; when it rains, there is only rain; when the clouds pass, the sun shines through. If you open yourself to the Tao, you are at one with the Tao and you can embody it completely. If you open yourself to insight, you are at one with insight and you can use it completely. If you open yourself to loss, you are at one with loss and you can accept it completely. Open yourself to the Tao, then trust your natural responses; and everything will fall into place.
On the one hand, loss implies gain; on the other hand, gain implies loss.
Empty your mind of all thoughts.
A follower of the Way (Tao) loses something each day. Loss after loss until arriving at Non Action (Wu Wei).
Praise of power leads to weakness; Love of things leads to loss; The wise one leads by filling people's hearts; He destroys illusion and disturbs those who believe they are wise; He does nothing yet everything happens.
Fame of self: Which matters more? Self or wealth: Which is more precious? Gain or loss: Which is more painful?
To joy in conquest is to joy in the loss of human life.
