54 道德经:
善建不拔,善抱者不脱,子孙以祭祀不辍。修之于身,其德乃真;修之于家,其德乃馀;修之于乡,其德乃长;修之于国,其德乃丰;修之于天下,其德乃普。故以身观身,以家观家,以乡观乡,以国观国,以天下观天下。吾何以知天下然哉?以此。
Dao De Jing:
(The cultivation (of the Dao), and the observation (of its effects))
What (Dao's) skilful planter plants
Can never be uptorn;
What his skilful arms enfold,
From him can never be borne.
Sons shall bring in lengthening line,
Sacrifices to his shrine.

Dao when nursed within one's self,
His vigour will make true;
And where the family it rules
What riches will accrue!
The neighbourhood where it prevails
In thriving will abound;
And when 'tis seen throughout the state,
Good fortune will be found.
Employ it the kingdom o'er,
And men thrive all around.

In this way the effect will be seen in the person, by the observation of different cases; in the family; in the neighbourhood; in the state; and in the kingdom.
How do I know that this effect is sure to hold thus all under the sky? By this (method of observation).

32 解老:
人无愚智,莫不有趋舍。恬淡平安,莫不知祸福之所由来。得于好恶,怵于淫物,而后变乱。所以然者,引于外物,乱于玩好也。恬淡有趋舍之义,平安知祸福之计。而今也玩好变之,外物引之,引之而往,故曰:“拔。”至圣人不然,一建其趋舍,虽见所好之物不能引,不能引之谓不拔。一于其情,虽有可欲之类,神不为动,神不为动之谓不脱。为人子孙者体此道,以守宗庙不灭之谓祭祀不绝。身以积精为德,家以资财为德,乡国天下皆以民为德。今治身而外物不能乱其精神,故曰:“修之身,其德乃真。”真者,慎之固也。治家,无用之物不能动其计则资有馀,故曰:“修之家,其德有馀。”治乡者行此节,则家之有馀者益众,故曰:“修之乡,其德乃长。”治邦者行此节,则乡之有德者益众,故曰:“修之邦,其德乃丰。”莅天下者行此节,则民之生莫不受其泽,故曰:“修之天下,其德乃普。”修身者以此别君子小人,治乡治邦莅天下者各以此科适观息耗则万不失一,故曰:“以身观身,以家观家,以乡观乡,以邦观邦,以天下观天下,吾奚以知天下之然也?以此。”

14 德经:
善建者不拔,建,立也。善以道立身立国者,不可得引而拔也。修之于身,其德乃真,修道于身,爱气养神,其德如是,乃为真人。修之于家,其德乃馀,修道于家,父慈子孝,兄友弟顺,夫信妻贞,其德如是,乃有馀庆。修之于乡,其德乃长,修道于乡,尊敬长老,爱养幼少,其德如是,乃无不覆及。修之于国,其德乃丰,修道于国,则君信臣忠,政平无私,其德如是,乃为丰厚。修之于天下,其德乃普。人主修道于天下,不言而化,不教而治,下之应上,信如影响,其德如是,乃为普博。
