老子道德經(jīng)(英譯本)Lao Tze 64a. Care at the Beginning
作者: 《Lao Tze》李耳
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.
