Bend and you straighten,
Empty and you fill,
Decay and you renew,
Want and you acquire,

Does not justify himself, so is recognized,
Does not boast, so is credited,
Does not pride himself, so endures,
Does not contend, so none contend against him.

The ancients said, "Accept and you become whole",
Once whole, the world is as your home.
