At rest is easy to hold.
Not yet impossible is easy to plan.
Brittle is easy to break.
Fine is easy to scatter.
...
Create before it exists.
Lead before it goes astray.
...
A tree is too big to embrace
Is born from a slender shoot.
A nine-storey tower
Rises from a pile of earth.
A thousand-mile journey
Begins with a single step.
...
Act and you ruin it.
Grasp and you lose it.
Therefore the Sage
Does not act
And so does not ruin
Does not grasp
And so does not lose.
Thanks, I hate it.

Yes, this has been all about saying "Please sir I just want to smoke my weed" to the foreign invaders.
Very smart and cool, The Sage knows not to fuck around with US Marines.
