"Esteem lightly your greatest accomplishment, your patience will not fail. Reckon your great fulness to be emptiness, your strength will not become exhausted. Count your rectitude as foolishness, Know your cleverness to be stupidity, Recognize your eloquence to be stammering words, And you will find that As movement overcomes cold, and as stillness overcomes heat, even sol, he who knows the true secret of tranquillity Will become a pattern for all mankind."
