hardly at their best when a debate causes them to become defensive and unyielding。
  Another important point related to the first two lines is that sages do not give insincere praise。 Saying what people want to hear ��beautiful words�� may make them feel comfortable in the short term�察�but if such words distort or conceal reality�察�they can only lead to harm in the long run。

  A tao that one can tao
  Is not the entire tao
  A name that one can name
  Is not the entire name。

  In the absence of names
  Lies the origin of heavens and earth
  The presence of names
  Is mother to the 10000 things。

  So viewing entireness without desire
  One may see subtleties
  Viewing entireness with desire
  One may see boundaries。

  That which is these both
  Goes about as itself yet there are different names。
  Categorizing them together there is insight
  Very deep insight
  The gateway to collective subtleties。

  2

  In the world each knows how beauty acts
  Where there is beauty ugliness begins
  Each knows how to value
  Where there is value lack of value begins。

  In this manner
  Presence and absence give birth to each other
  Difficult and easy complete each other
  Long and short contrast each other
  High and low attract each other
  Tone and voice harmonize each other
  Front and back follow each other。

  Appropriately it happens that sages
  Dwell absent of acting with effort
  Do things without explaining in words
  Make the 10000 things blend yet without trying to describe them
  Give birth yet without possessing
  Act yet without relying on results
  Are of outstanding service yet aren't willing to reside therein。

  In the end�察�only be unwilling to reside therein
  Appropriately�察�a lack of detachment happens。

  3

  Being without esteem for principles
  Results in people who do not contend
  Being without treasuring goods difficult to obtain
  Results in people who do not act as thieves
  Being without seeing what one can desire
  Results in the minds of people not being confused。

  Appropriately the governing of sages happens。
  Baring the mind
  Solidifying the center
  Lessening the will
  Strengthening self´nature

  These entirely result in people
  Who are absent of knowing and absent of desire
  In the end they also result in the wise not venturing to act。

  Acting absent of acting
  An absence of being without governing follows。

  4

  Tao�察�like an empty bowl
  Being used somehow lacks fullness。

  Such breadth��
  It seems to be a model for the 10000 things。
  Blunting what is sharp
  Untying what is tangled
  Harmonizing what is bright
  Being together with the dusty earth。

  Such depth��
  It seems to somehow exist。
  I have no knowledge whose child it is
  It appears to precede the emperors。

  5

  Heavens and earth are without humanizing
  It happens that the 10000 things act as straw dogs
  Sages are without humanizing
  It happens that one hundred families act as straw dogs。

  The space bounding heavens and earth is just like the equal of a bellows
  Empty yet not subdued
  Stirring yet more goes out。

  Much talk counts for little
  It can't compare to obeying the center。

  6

  The valley spirit has no death
  It is appropriately called the all´embracing female

  The gateway of The all´embracing female
  Is appropriately called the root of heavens and earth。
  Continuous�察�soft�察�it looks like it exists´
  It is infrequently used。

  7

  Heavens�察�growth�察�earth�察�longevity。
  In heavens and earth's place
  That which is able to grow and further be long´lasting happens
  And something lacking existence of a self happens
  So it is able to grow and give birth。

  Appropriately it happens that sages
  Put their bodies behind yet their bodies are ahead
  Put their bodies outside yet their bodies are kept in。

  Does it not happen they are absent of anomalous self´interest��
  So they are able to perfect self´interest。

  8

  Better value looks like water

  The value if water profits the 10000 things yet without contending
  It dwells in places the collective mind dislikes´
  So it is severed�察�relating to tao。

  The value of a home is in location
  The value of a mind is in breadth
  The value of a relationship is in humanity
  The value of a word is in belief
  The value of a government is in governing
  The value of an effort is in ability
  The value of a movement is in time。

  In the end only be without contending
  So be absent from reproach。

  9

  Holding yet being full
  Lacks compare to not yet being so
  A sword blade being oversharpened
  Cannot long remain so
  A living room full of gold and jade
  There is noone able to guard it
  Abundant treasures yet arrogance
  Self´condemnation�察�self´punishment。

  Outstanding service performed
  The body withdrawing
  The tao of the heavens。

  10

  In containing life´force and embracing oneness
  Is the ability to be absent from departing equal��
  In gently extending animus alone
  Is the ability to be as a newborn child equal��
  In cleansing and clearing insightful discernment
  Is the ability to be absent of flaws equal��
  In fondness for people�察�governing a nation
  Is the ability to be absent of action equal��
  In opening and closing the gate of heavens
  Is the ability to be absent of femaleness equal��
  In seeing clearly all four reaches
  Is the ability to be absent from knowledge equal��

  Be giving birth�察�be nourishing。

  Giving birth yet without possessing
  Acting yet without sustaining
  Growing yet without directing
  Is appropriately called insightful ideal。

  11

  Thirty spokes converge at one hub
  The use of a chariot is in the presence of what is absent
  Shaping clay�察�it happens to act as a vessel
  The use of a vessel is in the presence of what is absent
  Cutting doors and windows to have it act as a room
  The use of a room is in the presence of what is absent。

  So
  Where there is presence beneficial actions happen
  Where there is absence useful actions happen。

  12

  Five colors blind the eye of man
  Five tones deafen the ear of man
  Five flavors chafe the mouth of man
  Racing and hunting inspire the mind of man to express craziness
  Goods difficult to obtain hamper the path of man。

  Appropriately it happens
  That sages act from the center without acting from the eyes。

  So detach from that�察�grab this。

  13

  Favor and disgrace look alarming。
  The treasure of great danger looks like the body。

  Why say favor and disgrace look alarming��
  Favor acts superior
  Disgrace acts inferior
  Being obtained it looks alarming
  Being lost it looks alarming
  Appropriately say favor and disgrace look alarming。

  Why say the treasure of great danger looks like the body��
  I place the occurrence of things of great danger
  As action of I in the presence of a body。
  I reach the absence of a body
  I am present with what danger��
  Appropriately say the treasure of great danger looks like the body。

  So treasuring it when the body acts in the world
  It looks like one can be committed to the world。
  Being fond of it when the body acts in the world
  It looks like one can be entrusted to the world。

  14

  Being observed�察�lacking sight
  Say the name smooth
  Being listened to�察�lacking hearing
  Say the name rare
  Being pounced on�察�lacking obtainment
  Say the name small。

  That which these three describes cannot be resolved
  So they mingle yet act as one。

  What is high lacks brightness
  What is low lacks darkness
  Restrictions and restraints cannot be named
  Return�察�merge with�察�relate to the absence of things。

  It is an appropriate action to call it
  The absence of being shape's shape
  The absence of being thing's form。

  It is appropriately called ungraspable�察�elusive
  Moving toward it there is no seeing a head
  Following it there is no seeing a tail。

  Holding the tao of the ancients
  Warding off presence of the now happens
  The ability to know the ancient beginnings
  Is appropriately called a bond to tao。

  15

  Those ancients who valued action in the tao
  Were insightful�察�versatile�察�far´reaching�察�coherent。

  Penetrating�察�one cannot understand
  In the end it is only that one cannot understand
  So there is more than appears to their actions。

  So resigned�察�like fording a river in winter
  Just so�察�like respecting all four neighbors
  So reserved�察�like making an appearance
  So melting�察�like ice halfway released
  So genuine�察�like their true nature
  So spacious�察�like a valley
  So well mixed�察�like muddy water。

  Who is able to gently calm muddy water�察�clearing it��
  Who is able to endure gently stirring tranquillity so it gives birth��

  Those who maintain this tao have no desire for fullness

  In the end only lack fullness
  So be able to be shabby yet perfect the new。

  16

  Taking emptiness to the limit
  Observing stillness genuinely
  Regarding the 10000 things as side´by´side
  It happens that I view the return。

  In the end things grow and flourish
  Each returns�察�merging with its root。

  Merging with the root�察�say still
  Appropriately it is called returning to giving birth。

  Returning to giving birth�察�say entireness
  Knowing entireness say illuminated
  Without knowing entireness presumptuously do the faminous。

  Knowing entireness is tolerance
  Tolerance leads to impartiality
  Impartiality leads to kingliness
  Kingliness leads to the heavens
  The heavens lead to tao
  Tao lead
