Tao Te Ching 67
The world talks about honouring the Tao, but you can't tell it from their actions.
Because it is thought of as great, the world makes light of it.
It seems too easy for anyone to use.
There are three jewels that I cherish: compassion, moderation, and humility.
With compassion, you will be able to be brave, with moderation, you will be able to give to others, with humility, you will be able to become a great leader.
To abandon compassion while seeking to be brave, or abandoning moderation while being benevolent, or abandoning humility while seeking to lead will only lead to greater trouble.
The compassionate warrior will be the winner, and if compassion is your defense you will be secure.
Compassion is the protector of Heaven's salvation.
Lao Tzu
