《老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze》24. Indulgence

　　Straighten yourself and you will not stand steady;

　　Display yourself and you will not be clearly seen;

　　Justify yourself and you will not be respected;

　　Promote yourself and you will not be believed;

　　Pride yourself and you will not endure.

　　These behaviours are wasteful, indulgent,

　　And so they attract disfavour;

　　Harmony avoids them.
