63 道德經:
為無為,事無事,味無味。大小多少,報怨以德。圖難於其易,為大於其細;天下難事,必作於易,天下大事,必作於細。是以聖人終不為大,故能成其大。夫輕諾必寡信,多易必多難。是以聖人猶難之,故終無難矣。
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.

4 道原:
老子曰:聖人忘乎治人,而在乎自理。貴忘乎勢位,而在乎自得,自得即天下得我矣;樂忘乎富貴,而在乎和,知大己而小天下,幾於道矣。故曰:「至虛極也,守靜篤也,萬物並作,吾以觀其復。」夫道者,陶冶萬物,終始無形,寂然不動,大通混冥,深閎廣大不可為外,折毫剖芒不可為內,無環堵之宇,而生有無之間也。真人體之以虛無、平易、清靜、柔弱、純粹素樸,不與物雜,至德天地之道,故謂之真人。真人者,大己而小天下,貴治身而賤治人,不以物滑和,不以欲亂情,隱其名姓,有道則隱,無道則見,為無為,事無事,知不知也,懷天道,包天心,噓吸陰陽,吐故納新,與陰俱閉,與陽俱開,與剛柔卷舒,與陰陽俯仰,與天同心,與道同體;無所樂,無所苦,無所喜,無所怒,萬物玄同,無非無是。夫形傷乎寒暑燥濕之虐者,形究而神杜,神傷於喜怒思慮之患者,神盡而形有餘。故真人用心,杖性依神,相扶而得終始,是以其寢不夢,覺而無憂。孔子問道。老子曰:正汝形,一汝視,天和將至;攝汝知,正汝度,神將來舍,德將為汝容,道將為汝居。瞳子,若新生之犢,而無求其故,形若枯木,心若死灰,真其實知而不以曲故自持,恢恢無心可謀,「明白四達,能無知乎?」

為無為,因成循故,無所造作。事無事,預有備,除煩省事也。味無味。深思遠慮,味道意也。大小多少,陳其戒令也。欲大反小,欲多反少,自然之道也。報怨以德。脩道行善,絕禍於未生也。圖難於其易,欲圖難事,當於易時,未及成也。為大於其細。欲為大事,必作於小,禍亂從小來也。天下難事必作於易,天下大事必作於細。從易生難,從細生著。是以聖人終不為大,故能成其大。處謙虛,天下共歸之也。夫輕諾必寡信,不重言也。多易必多難。不慎患也。是以聖人猶難之,聖人動作舉事,猶進退,重難之,欲塞其源也。故終無難矣。聖人終生無患難之事,猶避害深也
