TAO TE CHING - Chapter 62. Sin

The treasure of the saint,
And the refuge of the sinner.

And when a man gains power, do not honour him;
Only remain impartial and show him the Way.

Why should someone appreciate the Way?
The ancients said, "By it, those who seek may easily find,
And those who regret may easily absolve"
So it is the most precious gift.
