Tao Te Ching
大道氾兮，其可左右。万物恃之而生，而不辞，功成（而）不名有。爱养万物而不为主。常无欲，可名于小。万物归焉而不为主，可名为大。是以圣人终不为大，故能成其大。

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi. The text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated. The Tao Te Ching is fundamental to the Philosophical Taoism and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism and Neo-Confucianism.
