| 39 | 道德經: | 昔之得一者：天得一以清；地得一以寧；神得一以靈；谷得一以盈；萬物得一以生；侯王得一以為天下貞。其致之，天無以清，將恐裂；地無以寧，將恐發；神無以靈，將恐歇；谷無以盈，將恐竭；萬物無以生，將恐滅；侯王無以貴高將恐蹶。故貴以賤為本，高以下為基。是以侯王自稱孤、寡、不穀。此非以賤為本耶？非乎？故致數譽無譽。不欲琭琭如玉，珞珞如石。 |
| Dao De Jing: |
(The origin of the law) The things which from of old have got the One (the Dao) are - Heaven which by it is bright and pure; Earth rendered thereby firm and sure; Spirits with powers by it supplied; Valleys kept full throughout their void All creatures which through it do live Princes and kings who from it get The model which to all they give. All these are the results of the One (Dao). If heaven were not thus pure, it soon would rend; If earth were not thus sure, 'twould break and bend; Without these powers, the spirits soon would fail; If not so filled, the drought would parch each vale; Without that life, creatures would pass away; Princes and kings, without that moral sway, However grand and high, would all decay. Thus it is that dignity finds its (firm) root in its (previous) meanness, and what is lofty finds its stability in the lowness (from which it rises). Hence princes and kings call themselves 'Orphans,' 'Men of small virtue,' and as 'Carriages without a nave.' Is not this an acknowledgment that in their considering themselves mean they see the foundation of their dignity? So it is that in the enumeration of the different parts of a carriage we do not come on what makes it answer the ends of a carriage. They do not wish to show themselves elegant-looking as jade, but (prefer) to be coarse-looking as an (ordinary) stone. |

| 2 | 齊宣王見... : | 斶對曰：「不然。斶聞古大禹之時，諸侯萬國。何則？德厚之道，得貴士之力也。故舜起農畝，出於野鄙，而為天子。及湯之時，諸侯三千。當今之世，南面稱寡者，乃二十四。由此觀之，非得失之策與？稍稍誅滅，滅亡無族之時，欲為監門、閭里，安可得而有乎哉？是故易傳不云乎：『居上位，未得其實，以喜其為名者，必以驕奢為行。据慢驕奢，則凶從之。是故無其實而喜其名者削，無德而望其福者約，無功而受其祿者辱，禍必握。』故曰：『矜功不立，虛願不至。』此皆幸樂其名，華而無其實德者也。是以堯有九佐，舜有七友，禹有五丞，湯有三輔，自古及今而能虛成名於天下者，無有。是以君王無羞亟問，不媿下學；是故成其道德而揚功名於後世者，堯、舜、禹、湯、周文王是也。故曰：『無形者，形之君也。無端者，事之本也。』夫上見其原，下通其流，至聖人明學，何不吉之有哉！老子曰：『雖貴，必以賤為本；雖高，必以下為基。』是以侯王稱孤寡不穀。是其賤之本與？非夫孤寡者，人之困賤下位也，而侯王以自謂，豈非下人而尊貴士與？夫堯傳舜，舜傅禹，周成王任周公旦，而世世稱曰明主，是以明乎士之貴也。」 |

| 3 | 德經: | 昔之得一者，昔，往也。一，無為。天得一以清，地得一以寧，言天得一，故能垂象清明，地得一，故能安静不動摇。神得一以靈，言神得一，故能變化無形。谷得一以盈，言谷得一，故能盈滿而不絕。萬物得一以生，言萬物皆須道生成也。侯王得一以為天下貞，言侯王得一，故能為天下平正也。天無以清，將恐裂，言天當有陰陽晝夜，不可但欲清明無已時，恐將分裂不為天也。地無以寧，將恐發，言地當有高下，剛柔，不可但欲安静無已時，將恐發泄不為地。神無以靈，將恐歇，言神當有王相休廢，不可但欲盈滿無已時，將恐虛歇不為神。谷無以盈，將恐竭，言谷當有盈縮虛實，不可但欲盈滿無已時，將恐枯竭不為谷。萬物無以生，將恐滅，言萬物當隨時死生，不可但欲常生無已時，將恐滅亡不為物也。侯王無以貴高，將恐蹶，言侯王當屈己下人，汲汲求賢，不可但欲貴高於人，將恐顛蹶，失其位也。故貴必以賤為本，言必欲尊貴，當以薄賤為本，若禹稷躬稼，舜陶河濱，周公下白屋也。高必以下為基，言必欲尊貴，當以下為本。是以侯王自稱孤，寡，不轂，孤，寡，喻孤獨，不轂，喻不能如車轂，為衆輻所凑也。此其其作非以賤為本本下有邪字。侯王至尊貴，能以孤寡自稱，此非以賤為本乎。 |
