True words aren't eloquent;
eloquent words aren't true.
Wise men don't need to prove their point;
men who need to prove their point aren't wise.
The Master has no possessions.
The more he yields to others,
the more they yield to him,
happier he is.
The more he gives to others
the wealthier he is.
The Tao nourishes by not forcing.
By not dominating, the Master leads.
Lao Tzu
