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.

1 順化:
其政悶悶,其政教寬大,悶悶昧昧,似若不明也。其民醇醇,政教寬大,故民醇醇富厚,相親睦也。其政察察,其政教急疾,言決於口,聽決於耳也。其民缺缺。政教急疾。民不聊生。故缺缺日以踈薄。禍兮福所倚,倚,因也。夫福因禍而生,人遭禍而能悔過責己,修道行善,則禍去福來。福兮禍所伏。禍伏匿於福中,人得福而為驕恣,則福去禍來。孰知其極,禍福更相生,誰能知其窮極時。其無正,無,不也。謂人君不正其身,其無國也。正復為奇,奇,詐也。人君不正,下雖正,復化上為詐也。善復為訞。善人皆復化上為訞祥也。人之迷,其日固久。言人君迷惑失正以來,其日已固久。是以聖人方而不割,聖人行方正者,欲以率下,不以割截人也。廉而不害,聖人廉清,欲以化民,不以傷害人也。今則不然,正己以害人也。直而不肆,肆,申也。聖人雖直,曲己從人,不自申也。光而不曜。聖人雖有獨見之明,當如闇昧,不以曜亂人也。

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。
