Tao Te Ching (Lao Tsu) - Eighty one

Eighty one -

Truthful words are not beautiful.

Beautiful words are not truthful.

Good men do not argue.

Those who argue are not good.

Those who know are not learned.

The learned do not know.

The sage never tries to store things up.

The more he does for others, the more he has.

The more he gives to others, the greater his abundance.

The Tao of heaven is pointed but does not harm.

The Tao of the sage is work without effort.

Tao Te Ching (Lao Tsu) - Sixty four

 Sixty four -

Peace is easily maintained ;

Trouble is easily overcome before it starts.

The brittle is easily shattered ;

The small is easily scattered.

Deal with it before it happens.

Set things in order before there is confusion.

A tree as great as a man's embrace springs from a small shoot ;

A terrace nine stories high begins with a pile of earth ;

A journey of a thousand miles starts under one's feet.

He who acts defeats his own purpose ;

He who grasps loses.

The sage does not act, and so is not defeated.

He does not grasp and therefore does not lose.

People usually fail when they are on the verge of success.

So give as much care to the end as to the beginning ;

Then there will be no failure.

Therefore the sage seeks freedom from desire.

He does not collect precious things.

He learns not to hold on to ideas.

He brings men back to what they have lost.

He helps the ten thousand things find their own nature,

But refrains from action.

Tao Te Ching (Lao Tsu) Sixty three

 Sixty three -

Practise non-action.

Work without doing.

Taste the tasteless.

Magnify the small, increase the few.

Reward bitterness with care.

See simplicity in the complicated.

Achieve greatness in little things.

In the universe the difficult things are done as if they are easy.

In the universe great acts are made up of small deeds.

The sage does not attempt anything very big,

And thus achieves greatness.

Easy promises make for little trust.

Taking things lightly results in great difficulty.

Because the sage always confronts difficulties,

He never experiences them.

Tao Te Ching (Lao Tsu) Fifty nine

 Fifty nine -

In caring for others and serving heaven,

There is nothing like using restraint.

Restraint begins with giving up one's own ideas.

This depends on Virtue gathered in the past.

If there is a good store of Virtue, then nothing is impossible.

If nothing is impossible, then there are no limits.

If a man knows no limits, then he is fit to be a ruler.

The mother principle of ruling holds good for a long time.

This is called having deep roots and a firm foundation,

The Tao of long life and eternal vision.

Tao Te Ching (Lao Tsu) Fifty eight

 Fifty eight -

When the country is ruled with a light hand

The people are simple.

When the country is ruled with severity,

The people are cunning.

Happiness is rooted in misery.

Misery lurks beneath happiness.

Who knows what the future holds ?

There is no honesty.

Honesty becomes dishonest.

Goodness becomes witchcraft.

Man's bewitchment lasts for a long time.

Therefore the sage is sharp but not cutting,

Pointed but not piercing,

Straightforward but not unrestrained,

Brilliant but not blinding.
