Tao Te Ching · Ch. 22

曲則全,枉則直,窪則盈,弊則新,少則得,多則惑。是以聖人抱一為天下式。不自見,故明;不自是,故彰;不自伐,故有功;不自矜,故長。夫唯不爭,故天下莫能與之爭。古之所謂曲則全者,豈虛言哉?誠全而歸之。

Qū zé quán, wǎng zé zhí, wā zé yíng, bì zé xīn, shǎo zé dé, duō zé huò. Shì yǐ shèng rén bào yī wéi tiān xià shì. Bù zì jiàn, gù míng; Bù zì shì, gù zhāng; Bù zì fá, gù yǒu gōng; Bù zì jīn, gù cháng. Fú wéi bù zhēng, gù tiān xià mò néng yǔ zhī zhēng. Gǔ zhī suǒ wèi qū zé quán zhě, qǐ xū yán zāi? Chéng quán ér guī zhī.

Yield and overcome; bend and be straight; empty and be full; wear out and be renewed; have little and gain; have much and be confused. Therefore the sage holds to the One and becomes the pattern for the world. Not displaying himself, he shines. Not justifying himself, he is distinguished. Not boasting, he achieves. Not glorying in his achievements, he endures. Because he does not contend, no one in the world can contend with him. The ancient saying 'yield and overcome' is not empty words — truly complete, one returns to it.
