Do not accumulate

Sincere words aren’t pretty.

Beautiful words are not sincere.

A good man doesn’t indulge in argument.

He who indulges in argument is not a good man.

A man of true knowledge is not a scholar.

The scholar has no real knowledge.

The wise don’t accumulate.

The more you do for others, the more you have.

The more you give to others, the greater your abundance.

The Tao of Heaven benefits, but does not harm.

The Tao of the wise performs good deeds, but makes no demands.
