We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
63. Origins in Reversal Treat lacking deem-action as 'deem-acting'. Treat having no social affair as 'social affair'. Treat the absence of flavor as 'flavor'. 'Great' the small; 'many' the few; Use virtuosity in dealing with moral anger. Plan the difficult in its easy phases. Deem-act on the great in its small phases. The difficult affairs of the social world start with something easy. The great affairs of the social world start with something small. Using this: Sages, to the end, do not deem-act on it as 'great' and so are able to accomplish its greatness. In general, light assent necessarily diminishes trust. Much ease then necessarily much difficulty. Using this: Sages make it even more difficult. So in the end they have no difficulty. -- tr. C. Hansen
