from Tao Te Ching · tr. James Legge (1891)
Chapter 22
The partial becomes complete; the crooked, straight; the empty, full; the worn out, new. He whose desires are few gets them; he whose desires are many goes astray. He does not strive, and therefore no one in the world is able to strive with him.
