	Dao De Jing:	(The way of heaven) May not the Way (or Dao) of Heaven be compared to the (method of) bending a bow? The (part of the bow) which was high is brought low, and what was low is raised up. (So Heaven) diminishes where there is superabundance, and supplements where there is deficiency. It is the Way of Heaven to diminish superabundance, and to supplement deficiency. It is not so with the way of man. He takes away from those who have not enough to add to his own superabundance. Who can take his own superabundance and therewith serve all under heaven? Only he who is in possession of the Dao! Therefore the (ruling) sage acts without claiming the results as his; he achieves his merit and does not rest (arrogantly) in it: - he does not wish to display his superiority.

天道:

天之道，其猶張弓與！天道暗昧，舉物類以為喻也。高者抑之，下者舉之，有餘者損之，不足者補之。言張弓和調之，如是乃可用耳，夫抑高舉下，損強益弱，天之道也。天之道，損有餘而補不足。天道損有餘而益謙，常以中和為上。人之道則不然，損不足以奉有餘。人道則與天道反，世俗之人損貧以奉富，奪弱以益強也。孰能有餘以奉天下？唯有道者。言誰能居有餘之位，自省爵祿以奉天下不足者乎？唯有道之君能行也。是以聖人為而不恃，聖人為德施，不恃其報也。功成而不處，功成事就，不處其位。其不欲見賢。不欲使人知己之賢，匿功不居榮，畏天損有餘也。
