66

"Rivers and seas are the kings of all waters Because they love to stay in lowly places. That is why they are the kings of all waters. Thus, if the sage wants to lead from the top, He must promise to place himself at the bottom. If he wishes to lead from the front, He must place himself in the back. In this way, the sage is placed at the top and yet the common people do not feel the weight; He is placed in front and yet the common people do not feel any threat. Thus the whole world gladly supports him and never gets tired. Just because he does not contend, No one in this world can contend with him."
