	Dao De Jing:	(Dexterity in using the Dao) The skilful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels or footsteps; the skilful speaker says nothing that can be found fault with or blamed; the skilful reckoner uses no tallies; the skilful closer needs no bolts or bars, while to open what he has shut will be impossible; the skilful binder uses no strings or knots, while to unloose what he has bound will be impossible. In the same way the sage is always skilful at saving men, and so he does not cast away any man; he is always skilful at saving things, and so he does not cast away anything. This is called 'Hiding the light of his procedure.' Therefore the man of skill is a master (to be looked up to) by him who has not the skill; and he who has not the skill is the helper of (the reputation of) him who has the skill. If the one did not honour his master, and the other did not rejoice in his helper, an (observer), though intelligent, might greatly err about them. This is called 'The utmost degree of mystery.'

巧用:

善行無轍迹，善行道者求之於身，不下堂，不出門，故無轍迹。善言無瑕讁，善言謂擇言而出之，則無瑕疵讁過於天下。善數不用籌策，善以道計事者，則守一不移，所計不多，則不用籌策而可知也。善閉無關楗而不可開善以道閉情欲、守精神者，不如門戶有關楗可得開。善結無繩約而不可解。善以道結事者，乃可結其心，不如繩索可得解也。是以聖人常善救人，聖人所以常教人忠孝者，欲以救人性命。故無棄人；使貴賤各得其所也。常善救物，聖人所以常教民順四時者，欲以救萬物之殘傷。故無棄物。聖人不賤名而貴玉視之如一。是謂襲明。聖人善救人物，是謂襲明大道。故善人者，不善人之師；人之行善者，聖人即以為人師。不善人者，善人之資。資，用也。人行不善者，聖人猶教導使為善，得以給用也。不貴其師，獨無輔也。不愛其資無所使也。雖智大迷，雖自以為智。言此人乃大迷惑。是謂要妙。能通此意，是謂知微妙要道也。
