A good person is like water --- translated from a Chinese saying

上善若水,水善利万物而不争,处众人之所恶,故几于道。居善地,心善渊,与善仁,言善信,政善治,事善能,动善时。夫唯不争,故天尤。

A good person is like water, which moistens the world but never vies with the world, staying in the lowest place which every body shows contempt for.  Therefore, it is closest to the way.
