Low tide makes the sea, low tide makes the king. A saint is nameless, but a great man is invisible. The eagle stands like a sleep, and the tiger walks like a disease. Expensive but not obvious, flashy. Keep a low profile and hide. Leave one step on the road and three points on the taste. If you want to take it first, you have to give it first. Thinking about the source of drinking water, see the sage Si Qi. Courtesy is reciprocal, and interests are paramount. Leave a line in everything so that we can meet again later. Heavy rain, no roots and no grass; Tao is broad, and only the people are doomed.
