Tao Te Ching — Verse 8

A Taoism prayer.

The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things
and does not strive.

It flows in places people reject
and so is like the Tao.

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 daily life, be competent.
In action, be aware of the time and the season.

No fight: No blame.
