Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail.”
~ Lao-tzu Quotes from The Tao te Ching
ps: The examples used by Lao Tzu : Men...Plant....Tree all are water carrier like river
dry and brittle (dry opposite of wet )
