Daode Jing

Words to trust are not refined.
Words refined are not to trust.
Good men are not gifted speakers.
Giften speakers are not good.
Experts are not widely learned;
The widely learned not expert.
 
Wise rulers for themselves keep naught,
Yet gain by having done for all,
Have more for having freely shared;
Do good not harm is heaven's Way;
The wise act for and not against.
