"Heaven's Way is like the stringing of a bow: It pulls down what is high it lifts up what is low it takes away from what has an abundance to give to what has not enough. Heaven's Way: Take away from what has an abundance help along what has not enough. People's way is not like this: Take away from what has not enough to offer it to what has an abundance. Who can have an abundance to offer the world? Only the one who has Tao. And so the Wise Person: Works but does not rely on this achieves successes but does not dwell in them has no desire to show off his worth."
