"The great rivers and seas are kings of all mountains streams Because they skillfully stay below them. That is why they can be their kings. Therefore, in order to be the superior of the people, One must, in the use of words, place himself below them. And in order to be ahead of the people, One must, in one's own person, follow them. Therefore the sage rejoices in praising him without getting tired of it. It is precisely because he does not compete that the world cannot compete with him."
