“It's best to be like water,
nurturing the ten thousand things
without competing,
flowing into places people scorn,
very like the Tao.
Make the earth a dwelling place.
Cultivate the heart and mind.
Practice benevolence.
Stand by your word.
Govern with equity.
Serve skillfully.
Act in a timely way,
without contentiousness,
free of blame.”
― Tao Te Ching
