"To grasp after until full is not as good as stopping. Measure and fit a crossbrace; It cannot last long. If one's hall is filled with gold and jade, it cannot be safeguarded. If one is wealthy and honoured, pride follows; and one gifts oneself with the faults thereof. When the work is done, retire. This is the Tao of heaven."
