I have three treasures that I cherish. The first is compassion. The second is moderation. The third is not claiming to be first in the world.
LaoziA skillful commander is not overbearing. A skillful fighter does not become angry. A skillful conqueror does not compete with people. One who is skillful in using men puts himself below them. This is called the strength to use men. This is called matching Heaven, The highest principle of old.
Laozi
