Tao te Ching
66 The reason that river and ocean can be the Lords of all valley is because they are located in the lowly position. Therefore, the saint humbles himself to serve all people. And he leads the people by putting himself last for the sake of the people’s welfare. Thus, although he rules above the people, The people do not feel him as a burden. Although he leads in front of the people, The people do not feel him as a threat. Hence, the world supports him with no objection. This is because he does not contend, Therefore, he is above all competition.
