Shape clay into a vessel ; It is the space within · Lao Zi

Shape clay into a vessel ; It is the space within that makes it useful. Cut doors and windows for a room ; It is the holes which make it useful. Therefore benefit comes from what is there; Usefulness from what is not there.

Lao Zi

Lao Zi (or Lao Tzu) is traditionally credited as the author of the "Tao Te Ching" and a central figure in Taoist philosophy. His historical existence is debated, but his influence through the teachings on the Tao – the Way – is immeasurable. His philosophy emphasizes harmony with nature, simplicity, non-action (wu wei), and wisdom through introspection and observation of the universe.
