Sincere words are not sweet,
Sweet words are not sincere.
Good men are not argumentative
The argumentative are not good.
The wise are not erudite,
The erudite are not wise.
The sage does not take to hoarding,
The more he shares with others, the fuller his life.
The more he gives,
The more he abounds.
The way to Heaven is to benefit,
not to harm.
The way of the sage is to do his duty,
Not to strive with anyone.

notes
Erudite - rude and ignorant.
The Taoist definition of heaven is harmonizing yourself with the Tao. This is a personal one-ness with all things (people, places, animals, etc.) around you.
