Here is a quote from the Tao Te Ching that I liked.

"The great integrity has given us three treasures to cherish:
The first is love.
The second is moderation.
The third is humility

If you love, you will be fearless.
If you are moderate, you might always sense abundance in life.
If you live in humility, you will be widely trusted.

But you will not have the capacity to love if you are fearful.
Even if you are fearless and without love, you will always be courting disaster.
If you live in insufficiency, you have no opportunity to be moderate.
If you live in overabundance, you not only live immoderately,
but are always courting disaster.

If no one trusts you, then compensatory ego will preclude humility.
If everyone trusts you and you lack humility, you will always be courting disaster."
--Segments of the Tao Te Ching, verse 67
