Humility's increase

"The deficient will recuperate. And the crooked shall be straight. The empty find their fill. The worn with strength will thrill. Who have little shall receive. Who have much will have to grieve. Therefore the holy man embraces unity and becomes for all the world a model. He is not self-dis playing, and thus he shines. He is not self-approving, and thus he is distinguished. He is not self-praising, and thus he acquires merit. He is not self-glorifying and thus he excels. Since he does not quarrel, therefore no one in the world can quarrel with him. The saying of the ancients: "The deficient will recuperate," is it in any way vainly spoken? Verily, they will recuperate and return home."
