TAO TIT BITS - Those Who Stand on Tiptoe









"Those who stand on tiptoe are not steady.
Those who stride cannot maintain the pace.
Those who make a show are not enlightened.
Those who are self-righteous are not respected.
Those who boast achieve nothing.
Those who brag will not endure.
These are extra food and unnecessary baggage
They do not bring happiness."

Edited from the Tao The Ching by Lao Tsu
Translated by Gia-Fu Feng, Publisher Wildwood House, 1974
