Tao of the Day

Your Daily Dose of Taoism

 

Chapter Twenty-Four

One who stands on tiptoe, doesn’t stand firmly
One who walks in a forced way, doesn’t come far
One who is vain, doesn’t shine
One who justifies oneself, isn’t credible
One who brags, will be unmasked
One who works one’s way up, humiliates oneself
To a wise man these are nothing but follies
One who lives righteously and honestly, refrains oneself from these things

Additional Info

Tao of the Day is a site for all things related to the Tao (also spelled Dao). We'll cover the entire Tao Te Ching several times each year, with one chapter being the center of attention each day. You can always comment on past days, but let's try to keep it flowing as the days progress.
