The follower of knowledge learns as much as he can every day;
The follower of the Way forgets as much as he can every day. By attrition he reaches a state of inaction
Wherein he does nothing, but nothing remains undone. To conquer the world, accomplish nothing;
If you must accomplish something,
The world remains beyond conquest.
48. Inaction
