Tao Te Ching 23

Abstaining from speech marks him who is obeying the spontaneity of his nature. A violent wind does not last for a whole morning, a sudden rain does not last for the whole day. 

To whom is it that these two things are owing? To Heaven and Earth. If Heaven and Earth cannot make such spasmodic actings last long, how much less can man!

Therefore when one is making the Tao his business, those who are also pursuing it, agree with him in it, and those who are making the manifestation of its course their object agree with him in that; while even those who are failing in both these things agree with him where they fail.

Hence, those with whom he agrees as to the Tao have the happiness of attaining to it; those with whom he agrees as to its manifestation have the happiness of attaining to it; and those with whom he agrees in their failure have also the happiness of attaining to the Tao. 

But when there is not faith sufficient on his part, a want of faith in him ensues on the part of the others.
