企者不立;跨者不行。自见者不明;自是者不彰;自伐者无功;自矜者不长。其在道也,曰∶余食赘形。物或恶之,故有道者不处。
He who tiptoes cannot stand; he who strides cannot walk.
He who shows himself is not conspicuous;
He who considers himself right is not illustrious;
He who brags will not endure.
From the point of view of the way these are ‘excessive food and useless excrescences’. As there are things that detest them, he who has the way does not abide in them.
