  People act nicely to gain your respect´
  but even if a person is bad��
  neither the sage nor the Tao willdesert him。 They accept him。

  And when the Emperor is crowned andthe three ministers appointed��
  it's better to stay where you areand be with the Tao
  than to hurry off with gifts of jadeand a team of four horses。

  The old ones 'knew this gesture'��
  and by ruling this way they were never
  guilty of transgressions or errors。

  Nothing under Heaven matters more
  than this kind of knowing。

  63

  The sage does nothing�察�and so he neverfails ´
  He holds on to nothing�察�and so henever loses 。 。 。
  Whereas the rest of us always seemto mess up our lives
  just at the moment when we seem tobe succeeding��

  That's why the sage wants nothing forhimself。
  He doesn't want precious things orpossessions。
  What is he�拭�A Student OF The Unknowable��
  so he doesn't make mistakes like therest of us
  but always tries to help us to betrue to who we are
  without ever standing in our way。

  And so he says�此�do things wu´wei�察�bydoing nothing
  Achieve without trying to achieveanything ´
  Savour the taste of what you cannottaste

  Make a small thing great�察�and the fewinto many ´
  Take on the largest things when they'restill small��
  Start the hardest things while they'restill easy。

  It's always the person who thinks thingsare easy
  that finds them the hardest in theend。

  The way he sees it�此�everything's potentiallytricky��
  so he never ends up out of his depth。

  64

  When everything is peaceful�察�don't forgetthe danger��
  When things are safe�察�don't lose youredge ´
  A brittle thing can break
  easily
  And a small thing fragment。

  So 'act before it happens'。
  'order things before chaos breaksout'。

  A great tree which takes a crowd tospan its base
  Started from being a tiny seed��
  And a tower nice sections high beganin the ground。

  A journey of a thousand miles startswith the first step。

  To act as if you know it all is catastrophic��
  and if you try to control it

  you will stare into your empty hand。

  65

  In ancient times�察�the shrewdest rulers
  Didn't try to give people too muchknow´how。

  What did they do�拭�They kept them livingsimply。
  So why are people so difficult togovern now��
  Because they know too much in theirso´called freedom。

  If a leader works deviously��
  He will turn the people against him´ look and see。
  But if you refuse to use that kindof knowing��
  Your people will be blessed and happy。

  This is where two streams divide��

  And if you rule this way
  You will be walking the great pathof Te。

  Deep Te ´ this Virtue is everywhere

  drawing us all
  into our final destiny��

  Oneness Of The Source And The Sea 。。 。

  66

  Why is the sea
  the king of a hundred tributaries��

  Because everything comes down to it´
  So it is kingly
  By this name。

  So a sage that wants to rule the peoplemust be below them。
  If he wants to be their leader�察�hemust be behind them。

  If he has no desire to control

  then the people will not feel oppressed��

  And if he stands before them for theirown sake�察�and not his

  they will not harm him。

  Trusted by everyone�察�no one will tireof him。

  What is his secret��
  He never competes。
  So there is no one else but him。

  67

  I have three priceless treasures��
  The first is Compassion
  the second�察�thrift

  And the third is that I never wantto be ahead of you。

  If I have compassion�察�you will diefor me。 I know that。
  If I waste nothing�察�I can give myselfto you all ´
  And if I don't seem perfect�察�thenyou'll trust me to lead you。

  These days people scorn compassion。They try to be tough。
  They spend all they have�察�and yetwant to be generous
  They despise humility�察�and want tobe the best。

  I tell you that ways Death's。

  If you have loved your people�察�youwill know it
  they will fight tooth and nail foryou in attack or defense。

  This is the protection of Heaven�察�andyour harvest。

  68

  A canny soldier never provokes anyone��
  And is never made to lose his temper。

  A good fighter never confronts hisenemy head´on��
  And those who know how to handle peopledo it humbly。

  This comes from the virtue of not´striving��
  and from knowing how to link withother people's energy。

  Since time gone in the mists

  this has been the way to 'pair up'with Heaven。

  69

  There is a saying�察�you know�察�which soldierhave��

  'I never use my force before my enemyuses his。
  I'd sooner go back a foot than advancean inch。'

  This is called going forward withoutmoving��
  Rolling up your sleeve without showingyour arm ´
  And by not�察�you defeat him withoutapparently doing anything。

  This is like being armed�察�but no onesees what you have。

  Never think your enemy is feeble。 That'sdisastrous。

  If I do that�察�I'm bound to lose allI have��

  So�察�you see�察�when the battle begins
  It is the one who seems weakest thatwill win。

  70

  My words are really very easy to understand
  And be with�察�and walk in 。 。 。 butno one can��

  My words have roots�察�my actions haveprecedents
  But people don't see this�察�and sothey don't see me。

  So few of you know or understand me
  And so the Tao becomes ever more important。 。 。

  The sage goes round like a supertramp��
  Hiding the jade�察�the jewel he carriesin his inmost heart。

  71

  Those who know seem not to know
  And those who don't pretend they do´
  This is what it means to be flawed。

  If you're sick at this�察�then you'llwin through。
  The sage is。 He is sick of all faults´
  He is sick of being sick。 He is well。

  72

  When the people lack a sense of awe��
  There is bound to be disorder or disaster。

  Never oppress them in their own homes��
  or interfere with their means of livelihood。

  If you don't oppose them��
  They won't try to depose you。

  So�察�the sage who really knows himself
  never shows himself off to his people´
  loves himself�察�without false pride´

  discards the mask�察�and wears his trueface。

  73

  A person who's brash and fearless willdie��
  A person who is cautious will survive´

  These two are right�察�and they are wrong
  Heaven looks down on both
  and who know the truth��

  So even the sage admits some thingsare beyond him。

  The Tao of Heaven
  doesn't struggle�察�but it wins through

  It doesn't ask
  yet it always hears the answer ´

  It doesn't demand
  yet things come�察�because they wantto be

  It has no desires
  and yet everything works out as ifplanned。

  And though the Net Of Heaven is wide
  Not even the tiniest whisper escapesit。

  74

  If the people are not afraid��
  It is useless to try and scare themwith death。

  And if people are afraid of death
  And you make a point of hanging everycriminal��
  Then who would dare to do anything��

  Any killing must be done by an officialexecutioner。

  If someone else were to do it��
  It would be like trying to copy amaster carpenter ´

  And if you try to cut like him

  you will only bloody your own hands��

  75

  Why are the people hungry��
  Because you crush them with your taxes��
  That is why they have nothing。

  Why are the people angry��
  Because you endlessly impose yourlaws��
  That is why they can't take any more。

  And why aren't they scared of death��
  Because you are voracious and youwant everything。
  So what have they got left to lose��

  Those who only have a little
  really know how to value life。

  76

  When a body is alive�察�it is soft and supple
  ´ it is cold and rigid when it dies。

  When plants are alive�察�they are tenderand trailing
  and burnt and brittle when they'redead。

  What's iron hard is what is dead�察�then
  And what is fluid and sensuous andrippling is alive 。 。 。

  And that is why a huge army
  With all its strength and complacencywill be defeated��
  Like a great tree
  axed down。

  Everything hard and strong will comedown��
  And everything soft
  shall rise�察�shall overcome。

  77

  The Tao of Heaven
  is like the tensing of a bow��

  ´ what is above
  is drawn down��

  ´ and what's below
  is drawn up��

  ´ what has plenty is drawn from
  and is given to what doesn't haveenough。

  The Heavenly Tao takes from those whohave too much��
  And it gives to those who have littleor nothing。

  Ah�察�but the human way is different。
  Even the wealthiest leech the poor
  So they can have even more。

  What kind of person is it
  Who has more than they need
  And so gives it out�察�and gives itfreely��

  Only a being that is filled with theTao。

  78

  Nothing in the world
  is softer than water 。 。 。
  ´ but we know it can wear away thehardest of things。

  The supple
  Overcomes the hard��
  And the so´called weak�察�the strong。

  People know this�察�but no one quitebelieves it。

  The sage always shoulders the blame��and the grief
  ´ that is why he is fit to rule

  He takes on his nation like a world
  As if it was the world

  ´ and so it is。

  And the truth is that the truth
  is often a paradox 。 。 。

  79

  If you've had a real set´to with someone
  And you've tried to patch it up ´
  And there's still some bitterness��what can you do��

  I tell you�此�repay bitterness with good。

  Those who practice Te hold credit
  ´ but don't demand repayment。

  Those who practice Virtue do theirbit
  ´ and those without it will expectyou to 。

  The Tao of Heaven
  doesn't deal in nepotism ´
  it just graces good people�察�like italways has and will。

  80

  If a nation could be small�察�with few enoughpeople
  Even if you had the means to producemore�察�they'd be useless。
