Those who know (the Tao) are not\nextensively learned; the extensively learned do not know it.\n\nThe sage does not accumulate (for himself). The more that he\nexpends for others, the more does he possess of his own; the more that\nhe gives to others, the more does he have himself.\n\nWith all the sharpness of the Way of Heaven, it injures not; with\nall the doing in the way of the sage he does not strive.",
