The sage wears clothes of coarse cloth but carries jewels in his bosom; He knows himself but does not display himself; He loves himself but does not hold himself in high esteem.
Not praising the deserving prevents envy.
The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of all things.
A good runner leaves no footprints.
When great armies go to war, Sorrow is the sole winner.
