The highest good is like water.

Water gives life to the ten thousand things

and does not strive.

It flows in places men reject

and so is like the Tao.

In dwelling, be close to the land.

In meditation, go deep in the heart.

In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.

In speech, be true.

In ruling, be just.

In business, be competent.

In action, watch the timing.

No fight; no blame.

- Lao Tsu

Tao Te Ching
