People are born soft and flexible; when they are dead they are hard and stiff. Living plants are tender and pliant; when they are dead, they are brittle and dried out.
Therefore , whatever is hard and stiff is a sign of death. Whatever is soft and flexible is a sign of life. An army without flexibility never wins. An unbending tree is easily brought down by the wind. The hard and stiff fall. The soft and flexible rise.
- Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
