第五部分 Part Ⅴ 诸子谈黄老经 Ancient Thinkers Discuss the Dao
道可道,非常道。 If the Dao can be explained, it is not the constant Dao.
名可名,非常名。 If a name can be named, it is not a constant name.
太上,不知有之。 As for the greatest kind of ruler, you don’t even know he's there.
人法地,地法天,天法道,道法自然。 People follow the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Dao, the Dao follows nature.
上德不德,是以有德;下德不失德,是以无德。 People of superior virtue are not so intentionally and are therefore virtuous. People of inferior virtue are intentionally virtuous and are thus not virtuous.
祸莫大于不知足,咎莫大于欲得。 There is no greater disaster than discontentment. There is no greater crime than greed.
知者不言,言者不知 One who knows does not speak, One who speaks does not know.
天下多忌讳,而民弥贫;朝多利器,国家滋昏;人多伎巧,奇物滋起。 The more prohibitions there flre, the poorer the people will be. The more weapons there are, the more discordant it will be. The more cunning people are, the more wickedness there will be.
善为士者,不武;善战者,不怒;善胜敌者,不与。 A good general is not excessively violent, A good soldier is not easily angered, A good conqueror does not resort to confrontation.
