The shewing-forth of simplicity

"True speech is not elegant; elaborate speech is not truth. Those who know do not argue; the argumentative are without knowledge. Those who have assimilated are not learned; those who are gross with learning have not assimilated. The Wise Man doth not hoard. The more he giveth, the more he hath; the more he watereth, the more is he watered himself. The Tao of Heaven is like an Arrow, yet it woundeth not; and the Wise Man, in all his Works, maketh no contention."
