Why did the ancients praise the Way? Did they not say it was because you find what you seek and are saved from your wrongdoings?
LaoziI have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.
Laozi
