Sincere words are never beautiful
and beautiful words never sincere.
The noble are never eloquent
and the eloquent never noble.
The knowing are never learned
and the learned never knowing.A sage never hoards:
the more you do for others
the more plenty is yours,
and the more you give to others
the more abundance is yours.The Way of heaven is to profit without causing harm,
and the Way of a sage to act without contending.– Tao Te Ching, 81
