《老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze》26. Calm

  Gravity is the source of lightness,

  Calm, the master of haste.

  A lone traveller will journey all day, watching over his belongings;

  Yet once safe in his bed he will lose them in sleep.

  The captain of a great vessel will not act lightly or hastily.

  Acting lightly, he loses sight of the world,

  Acting hastily, he loses control of himself.

  A captain can not treat his great ship as a small boat;

  Rather than glitter like jade

  He must stand like stone.
