	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，進也。謂貪權慕名，進取功榮，則不可久立身行道也。跨者不行，自以為貴而跨於人，眾共蔽之，使不得行。自見者不明，人自見其形容以為好，自見其所行以為應道，殊不知其形醜，操行之鄙。自是者不彰，自以為是而非人，眾共蔽之，使不得彰明。自伐者無功，所謂輒自伐取其功美，即失有功於人也。自矜者不長。好自矜大者，不可以長久。其在道也，曰：餘食贅行。贅，貪也。使此自矜伐之人，在治國之道，日賦歛餘祿食以為貪行。物或惡之。此人在位，動欲傷害，故物無有不畏惡之者。故有道者不處。言有道之人不居其國也。
