I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is
gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps
me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be
frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and
you can become a leader among men. ~Lao Tze
