58 道德經:
其政悶悶,其民淳淳;其政察察,其民缺缺。禍兮福之所倚,福兮禍之所伏。孰知其極?其無正。正復為奇,善復為妖。人之迷,其日固久。是以聖人方而不割,廉而不劌,直而不肆,光而不燿。
Dao De Jing:
(Transformation according to circumstances)
The government that seems the most unwise,
Oft goodness to the people best supplies;
That which is meddling, touching everything,
Will work but ill, and disappointment bring.

Misery! - happiness is to be found by its side! Happiness! - misery lurks beneath it! Who knows what either will come to in the end?
Shall we then dispense with correction? The (method of) correction shall by a turn become distortion, and the good in it shall by a turn become evil. The delusion of the people (on this point) has indeed subsisted for a long time.
Therefore the sage is (like) a square which cuts no one (with its angles); (like) a corner which injures no one (with its sharpness). He is straightforward, but allows himself no license; he is bright, but does not dazzle.

13 道德:
文子問政。老子曰:御之以道,養之以德,無示以賢,無加以力,損而執一,無處可利,無見可欲,方而不割,廉而不劌,無矜無伐,御之以道則民附,養之以德則民服,無示以賢則民足,無加以力則民朴。無示以賢者,儉也,無加以力,不敢也,下以聚之,賂以取之,儉以自全,不敢自安。不下則離散,弗養則背叛,示以賢則民爭,加以力則民怨。離散則國勢貨,民背叛則上無威,人爭則輕為非,下怨其上則位危,四者誠脩,正道幾矣。

11 上義:
老子曰:自古及今,未有能全其行者也,故君子不責備於一人,方而不割,廉而不劌,直而不肆,博達而不訾,道德文武,不責備於人以力,自脩以道,而不責於人,易賞也,自修以道,則無病矣。夫夏后氏之璜,不能無瑕,明月之珠,不能無穢,然天下寶之者,不以小惡妨大美。今志人之所短,忘人之所長,而欲求賢於天下,即難矣。夫眾人之見,位之卑身之賤,事之洿辱,而不知其大略,故論人之道,貴即觀其所舉,富即觀其所施,窮即觀其所受,賤即觀其所為,視其所患難以智勇,動以喜樂以觀其守,委以貨財以觀其仁,振以恐懼以觀其節,如此則人情可知矣。

12 解老:
所謂方者,內外相應也,言行相稱也。所謂廉者,必生死之命也,輕恬資財也。所謂直者,義必公正,公心不偏黨也。所謂光者,官爵尊貴,衣裘壯麗也。今有道之士,雖中外信順,不以誹謗窮墮;雖死節輕財,不以侮罷羞貪;雖義端不黨,不以去邪罪私;雖勢尊衣美,不以夸賤欺貧。其故何也?使失路者而肯聽習問知,即不成迷也。今眾人之所以欲成功而反為敗者,生於不知道理而不肯問知而聽能。眾人不肯問知聽能,而聖人強以其禍敗適之,則怨。眾人多而聖人寡,寡之不勝眾,數也。今舉動而與天下之為讎,非全身長生之道也,是以行軌節而舉之也。故曰:「方而不割,廉而不劌,直而不肆,光而不耀。」

52 道應訓:
景公謂太卜曰:「子之道何能?」對曰:「能動地。」晏子往見公,公曰:「寡人問太卜曰:『子之道何能?』對曰:『能動地。』地可動乎?」晏子默然不對。出,見太卜,曰:「昔吾見句星在房、心之間,地其動乎?」太卜曰:「然」。晏子出。太卜走往見公曰:「臣非能動地,地固將動也。」田子陽聞之,曰:「晏子默然不對者,不欲太卜之死;往見太卜者,恐公之欺也。晏子可謂忠於上而惠於下矣。」故老子曰:「方而不割,廉而不劌。
