Truthful words are not beautiful.

Truthful words are not beautiful.
Beautiful words are not truthful.
Good men do not argue.
Those who argue are not good.
Those who know are not learned.
The learned do not know.
The sage never tries to store things up.
the more he does for others, the more he has.
The more he gives to others, the greater his abundance
The Tao of heaven is pointed but does no harm.
The Tao of the sage is work without effort.

Tao Te Ching, Chapter 81
as translated by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English
