What reading level is The Simple Way book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" To control our passions we must govern our habits and keep watch over ourselves in the small details of everyday life." This is what is meant by "managing great things in their beginnings." LXIV GUARDING THE SMALL What is still is easily held.
What is expected is easily provided for.
What is brittle is easily broken.
What is small is soon dispersed.
Transact your business before it takes shape.
Regulate things before confusion begras.
The tree which fills the arms grew from a tender shoot.
Th...e castle of nine storeys was raised on a heap of earth.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
144 LAOTZE: THE SIMPLE WAY Whoever designs only destroys.
Whoever grasps, loses.
The Sage does not thus act, therefore he does no harm.
He does not grasp, and therefore he never loses.
But the common people, in their under- takings, fail on the eve of success.
If they were as prudent at the end as they are at the beginning, there would be no such failures.
Therefore the Sage is only ambitious of what others despise, and sets no value on things difficult to obtain.
