Tao – Chapter 24

One who boasts is not established;
One who shows himself off does not become prominent;
One who puts himself on display does not brightly shine;
One who brags about himself gets no credit;
One who praises himself does not long endure.

In the Way, such things are called:
"Surplus food and redundant action."
And with things – there are those who hate them.
Therefore, the one with the Way in them does not dwell.
