老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 59. Restraint

作者：《Lao Tze》李耳

• Manage a great nation as you would cook a delicate fish.
  
  To govern men in accord with nature
  It is best to be restrained;
  Restraint makes agreement easy to attain,
  And easy agreement builds harmonious relationships;
  With sufficient harmony no resistance will arise;
  When no resistance arises, then you possess the heart of the nation,
  And when you possess the nation’s heart, your influence will long endure:
  Deeply rooted and firmly established.
  This is the method of far sight and long life.
