Tao Te Ching
治人，事天，莫若啬。夫唯啬，是谓早服。早服谓之重积德。重积德则无不克，无不克则莫知其极，莫知其极（则）可以有国。有国之母，可以长久。是谓深根固蒂，长生久视之道。

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.
