I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and in thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.
(Tao Te Ching, Chapter 67)
Simplicity and patience go hand in hand with compassion. These three qualities are inseparable.
Simplicity is a wonderful description of the style of the Taoist sage. He is not bound by any rules, authority or his own ego.
He simply does what is necessary because it is necessary. He is uncomplicated and direct. He is sincere and honest. There are no hidden agendas clouding his mind. His insight is acute and incisive. His actions are pure and direct. They come straight from his true self.
His patience is the patience of someone without agendas and without an ego to obey. He has no ambitions driving him to action. He has the wisdom of someone who understands the whole, and who is not personally involved. He is part of the natural flow of things, and he has the detachment to wait until the time is right.
His compassion is all-encompassing, and includes himself. He can therefore bring true peace, reconciling all beings in the world.
Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

Well… anyway…
