"He who stands on tiptoe is not steady, He who holds legs stiffly cannot walk. He who looks at self does not see clearly. He who asserts himself does not shine. He who boasts of himself has no merit. He who glorifies himself shall not endure. These things are to the Tao like excreta or a hideous tumour to the body. Therefore he who has Tao must give them no place."
