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.

1 恩始:
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

1 大道:
古人以度審長短,以量受少多,以衡平輕重,以律均清濁,以名稽虛實,以法定治亂,以簡制煩惑,以易御險難,萬事皆歸於一,百度皆準於法,歸一者簡之至,準法者易之極,如此,則頑嚚聾瞽可與察惠聰明同治矣。天下萬事不可備能,責其備能於一人,則賢聖其猶病諸,設一人能備天下之事,則左右前後之宜,遠近遲疾之間,必有不兼者焉。苟有不兼,於治闕矣。全治而無闕者,大小多少,各當其分,農商工仕,不易其業,則處上有何事哉。
