Tao Te Ching Verse Twenty-nine
Man tries to improve the Earth,
He always fails.
The Earth is a natural harmony,
It cannot be improved upon.
Try to change it and you spoil it.
Try to possess it and you lose it.
Some things are fast some are slow;
At times living is easy, at times hard;
At times there is strength, at times weakness
There is a time to flourish, and a time for decline.
Therefore the Wise do not impose upon the Earth,
They avoid extremes, extravagance and self indulgence.
