Tao Te Ching · Ch. 24

企者不立;跨者不行;自見者不明;自是者不彰;自伐者無功;自矜者不長。其在道也,曰:餘食贅形。物或惡之,故有道者不處。

Qì zhě bù lì; Kuà zhě bù xíng; Zì jiàn zhě bù míng; Zì shì zhě bù zhāng; Zì fá zhě wú gōng; Zì jīn zhě bù cháng. Qí zài dào yě, yuē: yú shí zhuì xíng. Wù huò wù zhī, gù yǒu dào zhě bù chǔ.

One who stands on tiptoe cannot stand steady; one who strides cannot travel long. One who displays himself does not shine; one who justifies himself is not distinguished; one who boasts has no merit; one who glorifies himself will not endure. In the Tao's perspective these are called 'leftover food and excess growth' — things that creatures loathe. Therefore one who possesses the Tao does not abide in them.
