	Dao De Jing:	(Painful graciousness) He who stands on his tiptoes does not stand firm; he who stretches his legs does not walk (easily). (So), he who displays himself does not shine; he who asserts his own views is not distinguished; he who vaunts himself does not find his merit acknowledged; he who is self- conceited has no superiority allowed to him. Such conditions, viewed from the standpoint of the Dao, are like remnants of food, or a tumour on the body, which all dislike. Hence those who pursue (the course) of the Dao do not adopt and allow them.

苦恩:

企者不立，企，进也。谓贪权慕名，进取功荣，则不可久立身行道也。跨者不行，自以为贵而跨于人，众共蔽之，使不得行。自见者不明，人自见其形容以为好，自见其所行以为应道，殊不知其形丑，操行之鄙。自是者不彰，自以为是而非人，众共蔽之，使不得彰明。自伐者无功，所谓辄自伐取其功美，即失有功于人也。自矜者不长。好自矜大者，不可以长久。其在道也，曰：馀食赘行。赘，贪也。使此自矜伐之人，在治国之道，日赋敛馀禄食以为贪行。物或恶之。此人在位，动欲伤害，故物无有不畏恶之者。故有道者不处。言有道之人不居其国也。
