The greatest virtue is like water;
it is good to all things.
It attains the most inaccessible places
without effort.
Therefore it is like Tao,
which has the virtue of adapting itself.
Like the heart, it is virtuous by being deep,.
Like speech, it is virtuous when it is quiet.
like choice, it is virtuous in equanimity.
Like a servant, it is trustworthy.
It flows quickly sometimes,
and at other it trickles.
Like action it has its seasons.
And because it does not strive
it has no enemies.
