"To know manly strength, to guard womanly gentleness, Is to be the central channel of the kingdom. To be the central channel of the kingdom, always manifesting life, never guilty, is to return to the innocence of childhood. To know light, to guard the darkness, Is to be the model of the kingdom. To be the model of the kingdom, always manifesting life, never at fault, is to return to the bounds of the Inner Kingdom. To know glory, to guard humility, Is to be the valley of the kingdom. To be the valley of the kingdom, always manifesting life becoming perfect, is to return to a condition like undressed wood. Undressed wood, being made into many utensils, The self-controlled man uses them, Then he becomes Ruler for a long time, Thus he achieves greatness without hurt to anyone."
