"Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom;
yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."
Doctrine and Covenants 88:118

"And the gatherer sought to find pleasing words, worthy writings, words of Truth."
Ecclesiastes 12:10

Tao Te Ching - Verse 11

My personal paraphrase of verse 11 -

The hub of a wheel is empty.
The inside of a bowl is empty.
A doorway in a wall is empty.
Without the empty part
     a wheel, a bowl and a wall are useless.
We value the thing itself,
     but it's the "nothing" that makes it useful.
