“Those who know do not talk
Those who talk do not know
Keep your mouth closed
Guard your senses
Temper your sharpness
Simplify your problems
Mask your brightness
Be at one with the dust of the earth
This is primal union.
One who has achieved this state
Is unconcerned with friends and enemies
With good and harm, with honor and disgrace
This is therefore the highest state of humanity.”
– Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching
