  • 45. Forethought

    Finding the great in the small
    and the many in the few,
    taking care of the difficult while it is easy,
    and managing great things
    in their beginnings
    is the way of Tao.

    All difficult things
    have their origin in that which is easy,
    and great things in that which is small.
    Therefore the wise one accomplishes
    great feats without even attempting them.

    Those who lightly assent
    seldom keep their word.
    Those who presume that everything is easy
    will have many difficulties.
