  • 老子道德經(jīng)(英譯本)Lao Tze 58. No End

    作者: 《Lao Tze》李耳
    When government is lazy and informal
    The people are kind and honest;
    When government is efficient and severe
    The people are discontented and deceitful.

    Good fortune follows upon disaster;
    Disaster lurks within good fortune;
    Who can say how things will end?
    Perhaps there is no end.

    Honesty is ever deceived;
    Kindness is ever seduced;
    Men have been like this for a long time. So the sage is firm but not cutting,
    Pointed but not piercing,
    Straight but not rigid,
    Bright but not blinding.
