Tao te Ching

67 The whole world says the Tao that I have attained is so great that It seems unreal. Because It is indeed so great, thus It seemed unreal. If It were real, It would have been insignificantly small. I have Three Treasures that I hold and guard. The first is Kindness. The second is Simplicity. The third is Humbleness. With Kindness, one can be courageous. With Simplicity, one can be generous. With Humbleness, one can be the lead to provide guidance. Now, if one abandons kindness and yet tries to be courageous, If one abandons simplicity and yet tries to be generous. If one abandons humbleness and yet tries to lead as guidance, He is doomed to perish. One who fights a battle with kindness shall win. One who keeps guard with kindness shall secure. Even the great nature shall save him and protect him with kindness.
