Along with being one of the foundational texts of Daoism, the Dao De Jing is one of the world's classics. If you click on the title of this post, you'll be directed to an online version.
13. Self
Both praise and blame cause concern,
For they bring people hope and fear.
The object of hope and fear is the self -
For, without self, to whom may fortune and disaster occur?
Therefore,
Who distinguishes himself from the world may be given the world,
But who regards himself as the world may accept the world.
