How to bear Success
"Great Tau is all-pervading. It can be on the right hand and also at the same time on the left. All things wait upon it for life, and it refuses none. When its meritorious work is done, it takes not the name of merit. In love it nourishes all things, and does not lord it over them. It is ever free from ambitious desires. It may be named with the smallest. All things return home to it, and it does not lord it over them. It may be named with the greatest. This is how the wise man, to the last, does not make himself great, and therefore he is able to achieve greatness."
