Truthful words are not fancy;
fancy words are not truthful.
The good are not argumentative;
the argumentative are not quite good.
The wise know the truth not by storing up knowledge;
those who focus on storing up knowledge do not know the truth.
The sage does not hoard for herself.
The more she helps others,
the richer life she lives.
The more she gives to others,
the more abundance she realizes.
The Tao of heaven benefits all beings without harming anyone.
The Tao of the sage assists the people without competing with anyone. (en) |
