Daode Jing Quotes

“He does not make himself seen,
therefore he is bright;
he does not deem himself to be right,
therefore he is illustrious;
he does not brag,
therefore he has merit;
he does not boast,
therefore he lasts long.

It is only because he does not contend
that no one in the world contends with him.

(Daode jing, 22, part.)”
