I love the Tao Te Ching. Amazing to think it was written around 400BC!
In fact, for all things there is a time for going ahead,
Tao Te Ching
and a time for following behind;
A time for slow-breathing and a time for fast-breathing;
A time to grow in strength and a time to decay;
A time to be up and a time to be down.
The living are soft and yielding;
the dead are rigid and stiff.
Living plants are flexible and tender;
the dead are brittle and dry.Those who are stiff and rigid
are the disciple of death.
Those who are soft and yielding
are the disciples of life.The rigid and stiff will be broken.
Tao Te Ching
The soft and yielding will overcome.
