Lao Tzu Tao Sayings - Verse 81

Sincere words are not elegant; elegant words are not sincere.
The good person does not argue; the person who argues is not good.

The wise do not have great learning; those with great learning are not wise.
True Persons do not hoard.

Using all they have for others, they still have more.
Giving all they have to others, they are richer than before.

The way of heaven is to benefit and not to harm.
The way of the True Reason is to assist without striving
in the unfolding of the story of the earth.
