老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 52. Clarity

作者：《Lao Tze》李耳

• The origin of the world is its mother;
  Understand the mother, and you understand the child;
  Embrace the child, and you embrace the mother,
  Who will not perish when you die.
  
  Reserve your judgments and words
  And you maintain your influence;
  Speak your mind and take positions
  And nothing can save you.
  
  As observing detail is clarity,
  So maintaining flexibility is strength;
  Use the light but shed no light,
  So that you do yourself no harm,
  But embrace clarity.
