	Dao De Jing:	(The task of achievement) All-pervading is the Great Dao! It may be found on the left hand and on the right. All things depend on it for their production, which it gives to them, not one refusing obedience to it. When its work is accomplished, it does not claim the name of having done it. It clothes all things as with a garment, and makes no assumption of being their lord; - it may be named in the smallest things. All things return (to their root and disappear), and do not know that it is it which presides over their doing so; - it may be named in the greatest things. Hence the sage is able (in the same way) to accomplish his great achievements. It is through his not making himself great that he can accomplish them.

任成:

大道氾兮，言道氾氾，若浮若沉，若有若無，視之不見，說之難殊。其可左右。道可左可右，無所不宜。萬物恃之而生，恃，待也。萬物皆待道而生。而不辭，道不辭謝而逆止也。功成不名有，有道不名其有功也。愛養萬物而不為主。道雖愛養萬物，不如人主有所收取。常無欲，可名於小。道匿德藏名，怕然無為，似若微小也。萬物歸焉而不為主，萬物皆歸道受氣，道非如人主有所禁止也。可名為大。萬物橫來橫去，使名自在，故可名於大也。是以聖人終不為大，聖人法道匿德藏名，不為滿大。故能成其大。聖人以身師導，不言而化，萬事修治，故能成其大。
