Verse 66
Streams and rivers flow to the sea,
because it lies below them.
That's why it is the greatest body of water.
Following this example -
If the wise want to guide, they are humble.
If they want to lead, they work from behind.
In this way,
people don't feel pushed about.
The wise lead without obstructing.
Everyone helps them without resentment.
Because they won't compete,
no one can compete with them.
(Lao Tzu)
