老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 64a. Care at the Beginning

作者：《Lao Tze》李耳

• What lies still is easy to grasp;
  What lies far off is easy to anticipate;
  What is brittle is easy to shatter;
  What is small is easy to disperse.
  
  Yet a tree broader than a man can embrace is born of a tiny shoot;
  A dam greater than a river can overflow starts with a clod of earth;
  A journey of a thousand miles begins at the spot under one’s feet.
  
  Therefore deal with things before they happen;
  Create order before there is confusion.
