EIGHTY-ONE
Faithful words are often not pleasant; pleasant words are often not faithful. Well informed men do not dispute; men who dispute are not well informed. The wise man is not always learned; the learned man is not always wise.
The perfect Sage does not keep things in possession or in memory, but since he ever serves others he acquires the most after all. Since he continually gives to others, he will possess the most in the end.
The TAO of Heaven always benefits and harms no one. The perfect Sage by following TAO and serving others is never the cause of strife.
