  • 老子道德經(jīng)(英譯本)Lao Tze 24. Indulgence

    作者: 《Lao Tze》李耳
    Straighten yourself and you will not stand steady;
    Display yourself and you will not be clearly seen;
    Justify yourself and you will not be respected;
    Promote yourself and you will not be believed;
    Pride yourself and you will not endure.

    These behaviours are wasteful, indulgent,
    And so they attract disfavour;
    Harmony avoids them.
