63 道德经:
为无为,事无事,味无味。大小多少,报怨以德。图难于其易,为大于其细;天下难事,必作于易,天下大事,必作于细。是以圣人终不为大,故能成其大。夫轻诺必寡信,多易必多难。是以圣人犹难之,故终无难矣。
Dao De Jing:
(Thinking in the beginning)
(It is the way of the Dao) to act without (thinking of) acting; to conduct affairs without (feeling the) trouble of them; to taste without discerning any flavour; to consider what is small as great, and a few as many; and to recompense injury with kindness.
(The master of it) anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things.
He who lightly promises is sure to keep but little faith; he who is continually thinking things easy is sure to find them difficult. Therefore the sage sees difficulty even in what seems easy, and so never has any difficulties.

1 恩始:
为无为,因成循故,无所造作。事无事,预有备,除烦省事也。味无味。深思远虑,味道意也。大小多少,陈其戒令也。欲大反小,欲多反少,自然之道也。报怨以德。修道行善,绝祸于未生也。图难于其易,欲图难事,当于易时,未及成也。为大于其细。欲为大事,必作于小,祸乱从小来也。天下难事必作于易,天下大事必作于细。从易生难,从细生著。是以圣人终不为大,故能成其大。处谦虚,天下共归之也。夫轻诺必寡信,不重言也。多易必多难。不慎患也。是以圣人犹难之,圣人动作举事,犹进退,重难之,欲塞其源也。故终无难矣。圣人终生无患难之事,犹避害深也
