The highest virtues are like Water.
Water’s virtue is to benefit all things,
   not strive against them.
It rests in places people consider foul.
Thus, it is like the Dao. 

Refrain from making a big deal about talent;
ordinary people won’t compete for recognition.

Make something important difficult to obtain
and people will be tempted to steal it.

Once beauty is recognized,
the idea of ugliness is created.

Once good is established,
  so is the notion of not good.

Spoken words about the Dao do not say it all.

Nor does any word written convey its essence.
