GREAT MINDS: 15 The skilful masters (of the Tao) in old times, with a subtle and exquisite penetration, comprehended its mysteries, and were deep (also) so as to elude men's knowledge. As they were thus beyond men's knowledge, I will make an effort to describe of what sort they appeared to be. Shrinking looked they like those who wade through a stream in winter [humility/trust: In, Out: Hold] ; irresolute like those who are afraid of all around them [modesty/tolerance: Out: Hold, In]; grave like a guest (in awe of his host) [sensibility/mercy: Hold: In, Out] ; evanescent like ice that is melting away [consideration/kindness: In, Hold: Out] ; unpretentious like wood that has not been fashioned into anything [earnestness/honesty: Out: Hold, In]; vacant like a valley, and dull like muddy water [decency/sincerity: Hold: Out, In]. Who can (make) the muddy water (clear)? Let it be still, and it will gradually become clear. Who can secure the condition of rest? Let movement go on, and the condition of rest will gradually arise. They who preserve this method of the Tao do not wish to be full (of themselves). It is through their not being full of themselves that they can afford to seem worn and not appear new and complete.
I suggest 66 as the companion chapter: 66 That whereby the rivers and seas are able to receive the homage and tribute of all the valley streams, is their skill in being lower than they;--it is thus that they are the kings of them all. So it is that the sage (ruler), wishing to be above men, puts himself by his words below them, and, wishing to be before them, places his person behind them. In this way though he has his place above them, men do not feel his weight, nor though he has his place before them, do they feel it an injury to them. Therefore all in the world delight to exalt him and do not weary of him. Because he does not strive, no one finds it possible to strive with him.

That whereby the rivers and seas are able to receive the homage
and tribute of all the valley streams, is their skill in being lower than they;--it is thus that they are the kings of them all. So it is that the sage (ruler), wishing to be above men, puts himself by his words below them, and, wishing to be before them, places his person behind them.

him. Because he does not strive, no one finds it possible to strive with him.
Nice, but i prefer the released version as it has Steph's vocals.. Makes the song complete..
