"Highest good is like water. Because water excels in benefiting the myriad creatures without contendingwith them and settles where none would like to be, it comes close to theway. In a home it is the site that matters; In quality of mind it is depth that matters; In an ally it is benevolence that matters; In speech it is good faith that matters; In government it is order that matters; In affairs it is ability that matters; In action it is timeliness that matters. It is because it does not contend that it is never at fault."
