What lies still is easy to grasp; What is far off is easy to anticipate; What is cold 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 taller than a river can overflow is based on 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. 64b. Care at the End -------------------- He who acts, spoils; He who grasps, loses. People often fail on the verge of success; Take care at the end as at the beginning, So that you may avoid failure. The sage desires no desire, Values no valuable, Knows no knowledge, But gives people what they can not find And helps all things accord with Nature Without interfering. |
