Laozi says in the 44th chapter of the Dao De Jing:

知足不辱，知止不殆，可以長久。
Zhīzúbùrǔ, zhīzhǐbùdài, kěyǐchángjiǔ

Who is content, needs fear no shame.
Who knows to stop, incurs no blame.
From danger free, long live shall he.
(James Legge)


Laozi, Chapter 33:

知人者智，自知者明。
zhī rén zhě zhì ， zì zhī zhě míng 。
胜人者有力，自胜者强。
shèng rén zhě yǒu lì，zì shèng zhě qiáng。

Understanding others is knowledge,
Understanding oneself is enlightenment wisdom;
Conquering others is power,
Conquering oneself is strength;
Victor H. Mair, 1990


不欲以静，天下将自定。
Bùyùyǐjìng,tiānxiàjiāngzìdìng。

Without desire there is stillness,
And the world settles by itself.


無名之樸，夫亦將無欲。不欲以靜，天下將自定。
Wúmíng zhī pǔ, fū yì jiāng wúyù, bù yù yǐ jìng, tiānxià jiāng zì dìng。

A simplicity without a name
Is free from all external aim.
With no desire, at rest and still,
All things go right as of their will.
(James Legge)


While Buddha once said:
“堅定的學習，秋的平靜”
Jiāndìng de xuéxí, qiū de píngjìng
“Resolutely train yourself to attain peace.”


Confucius:
“內省不疚，夫何憂何懼？”
Nèi xǐng bù jiù, fū hé yōu hé jù?


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 doesn’t display himself,
people can see his light.
Because he has nothing to prove,
people can trust his words.
Because he doesn’t know who he is,
people recognize themselves in him.
Because he has no goal in mind,
everything he does succeeds.
