When everyone knows beauty as beauty, ugliness is already there. When everyone knows good as good, evil is already there. Being and non-being give rise to each other; difficult and easy complete each other; long and short measure each other; high and low lean on each other. Therefore the sage works without claiming, teaches without speaking. Things arise and he does not refuse them; he acts and does not hold on; the work is done and he does not dwell in it. Because he does not dwell in it, it does not leave him.
