| 1 | 養生主: | 吾生也有涯，而知也无涯。以有涯隨无涯，殆已；已而為知者，殆而已矣。為善无近名，為惡无近刑。緣督以為經，可以保身，可以全生，可以養親，可以盡年。 |
| Nourishing the Lord of...: | There is a limit to our life, but to knowledge there is no limit. With what is limited to pursue after what is unlimited is a perilous thing; and when, knowing this, we still seek the increase of our knowledge, the peril cannot be averted. There should not be the practice of what is good with any thought of the fame (which it will bring), nor of what is evil with any approximation to the punishment (which it will incur): an accordance with the Central Element (of our nature) is the regular way to preserve the body, to maintain the life, to nourish our parents, and to complete our term of years. |

| 40 | 立言上: | 顏回希舜，所以早亡；賈誼好學，遂令速殞。揚雄作賦，有夢腸之談；曹植為文，有反胃之論。生也有涯，智也無涯，以有涯之生，逐無涯之智，餘將養性養神，獲麟於金樓之制也。夫石田不生五穀，構山不游麋鹿，何哉？以其無所因也。故龍藉風而飛，龜由火而兆，有其資焉。常善利物，無棄人也。富貴不可以傲貧，賢明不可以輕暗。夷吾侈而鮑叔廉，其性不同也；張竦潔而陳遵污，其行不齊也。然而終能相善者，蓋無棄人之謂也。或說人須才學，不資矜素。餘謂不然。昔孔文舉有言：三人同行，兩人聰雋，一夫底下，饑年無食，謂宜食底下者，譬猶蒸一猩猩，煮一鸚鵡耳。此蓋悖道之言也，寧有是乎！禰衡云：荀彧彊可與語，餘人皆酒甕飯囊。魏時劉陶語人曰：智者弄愚人，如弄一丸於掌中。 |
