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

　　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.
