Tao when nursed within one's self, his vigour will make true.

Excerpt

Tao when nursed within one's self, his vigour will make true; And where the family it rules What riches will accrue! The neighbourhood where it prevails In thriving will abound; And when 'tis seen throughout the state, Good fortune will be found. Employ it the kingdom o'er, And men thrive all around.
