X (24)
The true men of old did not reject
the views of the few; they did not seek to accomplish their ends like
heroes; they did not lay plans to attain those ends. Being such,
though they might [make] mistakes, yet they had no occasion for
repentance; though they might succede [sic], they had no
complacency... So it was that by their knowledge they ascended to &
reached the Tao.
