Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Verse 8

The supreme good is like water, 
which nourishes all things without trying to. 
It flows to the low places loathed by all men. 
Therefore, it is like the Tao. 
Live in accordance with the nature of things. 
In dwelling, be close to the land. 
In meditation, go deep in the heart. 
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. 
In speech, be true. 
In ruling be just. 
In action, watch the timing. 
No fight: No blame. 
One who lives in accordance with nature does not go against the way of things. 
They move in harmony with the present moment, 
always knowing the truth of just what to do.
