Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Verse 22: If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked. If you want to become full, let yourself be empty. If you want to be reborn, let yourself die. If you want to be given everything, give everything up... The Master, by residing in the Tao, sets an example for all beings... Because he has no goal in mind, everything he does succeeds. — translated by Stephen Mitchell      Harper Perennial, New York (1994)
