Quote from Tao Te Ching

This quote is from: Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – chapter 11

We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.

We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We should try to see the whole picture of life, and what it means.
