I 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.
LaoziThe fourth (of the four cardinal virtues) is supportiveness: this manifests as service to others without expectation of reward. (Paraphrased: Such service is not a mere conforming to some external rule of behavior, but instead a manifestation of your original nature).
LaoziFrom now back to antiquity, its (Tao's) name has not been lost. Thereby, see the origin of all.
LaoziIn the Way of Heaven, there is no partiality of love; it is always on the side of the good man.
Laozi
