He who stands on tiptoe is not steady.
He who strides cannot maintain the pace
He who makes a show is not enlightened.
He who is self-righteous is not respected.Â
He who brags will not endure.
According to followers of the Tao,
“These are extra food and unnecessary luggage.”
They do not bring happiness.
Therefore, followers of the Tao avoid them.
Lao Tzu
from The Taoteching
