Tao Te Ching Chapter 15

Do you have the patience to wait?

Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?
The Master doesn’t seek fufillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
she is present, and can welcome all things
— translated by Stephen Mitchell (2006)
