Quote by LaoTzu

Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.

Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than wate

Summary

This quote emphasizes the remarkable power of adaptability and perseverance in the face of resistance. Water, described as the epitome of flexibility and yielding, is capable of overcoming even the strongest obstacles. It highlights the idea that rigid and unyielding forces are essentially powerless against those who can embrace change and adapt to their surroundings. While many are aware of this principle, few are able to effectively apply it in their own lives. Ultimately, the quote suggests that being flexible and open-minded can lead to triumph over adversity.
