《老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze》52. Clarity

  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.
