73 道德经:
勇于敢则杀,勇于不敢则活。此两者,或利或害。天之所恶,孰知其故?是以圣人犹难之。天之道,不争而善胜,不言而善应,不召而自来,繟然而善谋。天网恢恢,踈而不失。
Dao De Jing:
(Allowing men to take their course)
He whose boldness appears in his daring (to do wrong, in defiance of the laws) is put to death; he whose boldness appears in his not daring (to do so) lives on. Of these two cases the one appears to be advantageous, and the other to be injurious. But

When Heaven's anger smites a man,
Who the cause shall truly scan?

On this account the sage feels a difficulty (as to what to do in the former case).
It is the way of Heaven not to strive, and yet it skilfully overcomes; not to speak, and yet it is skilful in (obtaining a reply); does not call, and yet men come to it of themselves. Its demonstrations are quiet, and yet its plans are skilful and effective. The meshes of the net of Heaven are large; far apart, but letting nothing escape.

夫山西饶材、竹、谷、纑、旄、玉石;山东多鱼、盐、漆、丝、声色;江南出枏、梓、姜、桂、金、锡、连、丹沙、犀、瑁、珠玑、齿革;龙门、碣石北多马、牛、羊、旃裘、筋角;铜、铁则千里往往山出棋置:此其大较也。皆中国人民所喜好谣俗被服饮食奉生送死之具也。故待农而食之,虞而出之,工而成之,商而通之。此宁有政教发徵期会哉?人各任其能,竭其力,以得所欲。故物贱之徵贵,贵之徵贱,各劝其业,乐其事,若水之趋下,日夜无休时,不召而自来,不求而民出之。岂非道之所符,而自然之验邪?

25 德经:
天道不争而善胜,天不与人争贵贱,而人畏之也。不言而善应,天不言,万物自动以应时。不召而自来,天不呼召,万物皆负阴而向阳也。繟然而善谋,繟,宽也。天道虽宽博,善谋虑人事,修善行恶,各蒙其报。天网恢恢,疏而不失。天所罗网,恢恢甚大,虽疏远,司察人善恶,无有所失。
