"The Rivers and the Seas (because they seek a lowly place) are Lords of a hundred valleys Let your love flow, seek a lowly place, you will be Lord of a hundred valleys. That is why if the self-controlled man desires to exalt the people, in his speech he must take a lowly place; if he desires to put the put the people first he must put himself after them. Thus, though he dwells above them, the people are not burdened by him Though he is placed before them, the people are not obstructed by him, Therefore men serve him gladly, they do not tire in serving him. Because he does not strive, no one in the world can strive against him."
