The low land becomes the sea, the lowly become kings.
The sage is nameless, the great are formless.
The eagle stands as if asleep, the tiger appears sick.
Noble yet unassuming, splendid yet not showy.
Conceal one's light and nurture one's hidden talents.
Highly talented yet not boastful, in high positions yet not arrogant.
Where the path is narrow, leave a step for others to walk;
Where the flavor is rich, reduce it by three parts for others to taste.
