Sincere words are not (necessarily) pleasant, nor are pleasant words (necessarily) sincere.
The good are not (necessarily) skillful debaters, nor are skillful debaters (necessarily) good men.
The wise are not (necessarily) well-informed, nor are the well-informed (necessarily) wise.
The Holy Man does not accumulate. He works for others, yet ever has abundance for himself; he gives to others, yet himself ever possesses superabundance.

"A man there was, though some did count him mad,
The more he gave away, the more he had." Lit.—"Heaven's Tao benefits but injures not; the Holy Man's Tao acts but strives not."
"Confucius remarked, 'With plausible speech and fine manners will seldom be found moral character.'" Analects.
"Confucius remarked, 'A man who possesses moral worth will always have something to say worth listening to; but a man who has something to say is not necessarily a man of moral worth.'" Analects.
