8 则阳:
蘧伯玉行年六十而六十化,未尝不始于是之而卒诎之以非也,未知今之所谓是之非五十九年非也。万物有乎生而莫见其根,有乎出而莫见其门。人皆尊其知之所知,而莫知恃其知之所不知而后知,可不谓大疑乎!已乎已乎!且无所逃。此所谓然与,然乎?
Ze-yang:
When Qu Bo-yu was in his sixtieth year, his views became changed in the course of it. He had never before done anything but consider the views which he held to be right, but now he came to condemn them as wrong; he did not know that what he now called right was not what for fifty-nine years he had been calling wrong. All things have the life (which we know), but we do not see its root; they have their goings forth, but we do not know the door by which they depart. Men all honour that which lies within the sphere of their knowledge, but they do not know their dependence on what lies without that sphere which would be their (true) knowledge: may we not call their case one of great perplexity? Ah! Ah! there is no escaping from this dilemma. So it is! So it is!

7 道原:
老子曰:万物之摠,皆阅一孔,百事之根,皆出一门,故圣人一度循轨,不变其故,不易其常,放准循绳,曲因其常。夫喜怒者,道之邪也;忧悲者,德之失也;好憎者,心之过也;嗜欲者,生之累也。人大怒破阴,大喜坠阳,薄气发喑,惊怖为狂,忧悲焦心,疾乃成积,人能除此五者,即合于神明。神明者,得其内,得其内者,五藏宁,思虑平,耳目聪明,筋骨劲强,疏达而不悖,坚强而不匮,无所太过,无所不逮。天下莫柔弱于水,水为道也,广不可极,深不可测,长极无穷,远沦无涯,息耗减益,过于不訾,上天为雨露,下地为润泽,万物不得不生,百事不得不成,大苞群生而无私好,泽及蚑蛲而不求报,富赡天下而不既,德施百姓而不费,行不可得而穷极,微不可得而把握,击之不创,刺之不伤,斩之不断,灼之不熏,淖约流循而不可靡散,利贯金石,强沦天下,有馀不足,任天下取与,禀受万物而无所先后,无私无公,与天地洪同,是谓至德。夫水所以能成其至德者,以其卓约润滑也,故曰:“天下之至柔,驰骋天下之至坚,无有入于无间。”夫无形者,物之太祖,无音者,类之太宗,真人者,通于灵府,与造化者为人,执玄德于心,而化驰如神。是故不道之道,芒乎大哉,未发号施令而移风易俗,其唯心行也。万物有所生而独如其根,百事有所出而独守其门,故能穷无穷,极无极,照物而不眩,响应而不知。

12 原道训:
万物有所生,而独知守其根;百事有所出,而独知守其门。故穷无穷,极无极,照物而不眩,回应而不乏。此之谓天解。故得道者志弱而事强,心虚而应当。所谓志弱而事强者,柔毳安静,藏于不敢,行于不能,恬然无虑,动不失时,与万物回周旋转,不为先唱,感而应之。是故贵者必以贱为号,而高者必以下为基。托小以包大,在中以制外,行柔而刚,用弱而强,转化推移,得一之道,而以少正多。所谓其事强者,遭变应卒,排患捍难,力无不胜,敌无不淩,应化揆时,莫能害之。是故欲刚者,必以柔守之;欲强者,必以弱保之。积于柔则刚,积于弱则强;观其所积,以知祸福之乡。强胜不若己者,至于若己者而同;柔胜出于己者,其力不可量。故兵强则灭,木强则折,革固则裂,齿坚于舌而先之弊。是故柔弱者生之干也;而坚强者死之徒也;先唱者,穷之路也;后动者,达之原也。
