Lao Tzu Quote – “If you persist in trying To attain what is never attained…”

If you persist in trying
To attain what is never attained
If you persist in making effort
To obtain what effort cannot get;
If you persist in reasoning
About what cannot be understood, you will be destroyed
By the very thing you seek.
To know when to stop
To know when you can get no further
By your own action,
This is the right beginning!

Lao Tzu (570 – 490 B.C.E.)
