"Yield, and become whole, Bend, and become straight. Hollow out, and become filled. Exhaust, and become renewed Small amounts become obtainable, Large amounts become confusing. Therefore the Sage embraces the One, and so is a shepherd fro the whole world. He does not focus on himself and so is brilliant. He does not seek self-justification and so becomes his own evidence. He does not make claims and hence is given the credit. He does not compete with anyone and hence, no-one in the world can compete with him. How can that which the ancients expressed as "yield, and become whole" be meaningless? If wholly sincere, you will return to them."
