It's Great to Be Small

"The great Way is all-pervading. It reaches to the left and to the right. All things depend on it with their existence. Still it demands no obedience. It demands no honor for what it accomplishes. It clothes and feeds all things without ruling them. It is eternally without desire. So, it can be called small. All things return to it, Although it does not make itself their ruler. So, it can be called great. Therefore, the sage does not strive to be great. Thereby he can accomplish the great."
