"Tao gives life to all things.
Virtue nurses them.
Matter shapes them.
The natural environment brings them to maturity.
Therefore, all things without exception,
revere Tao and honor virtue.
Though Tao deserves reverence,
it does not demand it.
And though virtue ought to be honored,
it, too, does not demand it.
Thus, it is Tao that gives life to all things,
And with its virtue nurses them, grows them,
fosters them, shelters them, comforts them,
nourishes them and embraces them.
It does all this, yet it claims no possession,
expects no gratitude, and desires no lordship.
This is called the integral virtue of the universe.
---Hua-Ching Ni, Tao Teh Ching, chapter 51
