  • 老子道德經(jīng)(英譯本)Lao Tze 59. Restraint

    作者: 《Lao Tze》李耳
    Manage a great nation as you would cook a delicate fish.

    To govern men in accord with nature
    It is best to be restrained;
    Restraint makes agreement easy to attain,
    And easy agreement builds harmonious relationships;
    With sufficient harmony no resistance will arise;
    When no resistance arises, then you possess the heart of the nation,
    And when you possess the nation’s heart, your influence will long endure:
    Deeply rooted and firmly established.
    This is the method of far sight and long life.
