“The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the Sage is to act but not to compete.”

Laozi

Simplified Meaning:

Wise people don't keep things for themselves. When they help others, they also help themselves. When they give, they receive more. Doing good brings good things back to them. Wise people take action without trying to outdo others.
