Tao Te Ching 66

Rivers and oceans can be the kings of a hundred valleys
Because of their goodness in staying LOW
So they can be the kings of a hundred valleys


Thus:
If sages wish to be over people
They must speak HUMBLY to them
If they wish to be in front of people
They must place themselves BEHIND them


Thus:
The sages are positioned above
But the people do not feel burdened
They are positioned in front
But the people do not feel harmed
Thus the world is glad to push them forward 
without resentment


BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CONTEND
SO THE WORLD CANNOT CONTEND WITH THEM
