70 道德经:
吾言甚易知,甚易行。天下莫能知,莫能行。言有宗,事有君。夫唯无知,是以不我知。知我者希,则我者贵。是以圣人被褐怀玉。
Dao De Jing:
(The difficulty of being (rightly) known)
My words are very easy to know, and very easy to practise; but there is no one in the world who is able to know and able to practise them.
There is an originating and all-comprehending (principle) in my words, and an authoritative law for the things (which I enforce). It is because they do not know these, that men do not know me.
They who know me are few, and I am on that account (the more) to be prized. It is thus that the sage wears (a poor garb of) hair cloth, while he carries his (signet of) jade in his bosom.

3 微明:
老子曰:何为不可?唯知言之谓乎!夫知言之谓者,不以言言也。争鱼者濡,逐兽者趋,非乐之也,故至言去言,至为去为,浅知之人,所争者末矣,夫“言有宗,事有君,夫为无知,是以不吾知。

1 知难:
章吾言甚易知,甚易行。老子言:吾所言省而易知,约而易行。天下莫能知,莫能行。人恶柔弱,好刚强也。言有宗,事有君。我所言有宗祖根本,事有君臣上下,世人不知者,非我之无德,心与我之反也。夫唯无知,是以不我知。夫唯世人之无知者,是我德之暗,不见于外,穷微极妙,故无知也。知我者希,则我者贵。希,少也。唯达道者乃能知我,故为贵也。是以圣人被褐怀玉。被褐者薄外,怀玉者厚内,匿宝藏德,不以示人也。

2 道应训:
白公问于孔子曰:“人可以微言?”孔子不应。白公曰:“若以石投水中,何如?”曰:“吴、越之善没者能取之矣。”曰:“若以水投水,何如?”孔子曰:“灾、渑之水合,易牙尝而知之。”白公曰:“然则人固不可以微言乎?”孔子曰:“何谓不可?谁知言之谓者乎?夫知言之谓者,不以言言也。争鱼者濡,逐兽者趋,非乐之也。故至言去言,至为无为,夫浅知之所争者,末矣。”白公不得也,故死于浴室。故老子曰:“言有宗,事有君。夫唯无知,是以不吾知也。”白公之谓也。
