| 67 | 道德經: | 天下皆謂我道大，似不肖。夫唯大，故似不肖。若肖久矣。其細也夫！我有三寶，持而保之。一曰慈，二曰儉，三曰不敢為天下先。慈故能勇；儉故能廣；不敢為天下先，故能成器長。今舍慈且勇；舍儉且廣；舍後且先；死矣！夫慈以戰則勝，以守則固。天將救之，以慈衛之。 |
| Dao De Jing: |
(Three precious things) All the world says that, while my Dao is great, it yet appears to be inferior (to other systems of teaching). Now it is just its greatness that makes it seem to be inferior. If it were like any other (system), for long would its smallness have been known! But I have three precious things which I prize and hold fast. The first is gentleness; the second is economy; and the third is shrinking from taking precedence of others. With that gentleness I can be bold; with that economy I can be liberal; shrinking from taking precedence of others, I can become a vessel of the highest honour. Now-a-days they give up gentleness and are all for being bold; economy, and are all for being liberal; the hindmost place, and seek only to be foremost; - (of all which the end is) death. Gentleness is sure to be victorious even in battle, and firmly to maintain its ground. Heaven will save its possessor, by his (very) gentleness protecting him. |

| 29 | 解老: | 凡物之有形者易裁也，易割也。何以論之？有形則有短長，有短長則有小大，有小大則有方圓，有方圓則有堅脆，有堅脆則有輕重，有輕重則有白黑。短長、大小、方圓、堅脆、輕重、白黑之謂理。理定而物易割也。故議於大庭而後言則立，權議之士知之矣。故欲成方圓而隨其規矩，則萬事之功形矣。而萬物莫不有規矩。議言之士，計會規矩也。聖人盡隨於萬物之規矩，故曰：「不敢為天下先。」不敢為天下先則事無不事，功無不功，而議必蓋世，欲無處大官，其可得乎？處大官之謂為成事長，是以故曰：「不敢為天下先，故能為成事長。」 |

| 23 | 德經: | 我有三寶，持而保之，老子言，我有三寶，抱持而保倚之。一曰慈，愛百姓若赤子。二曰儉，賦斂若取之於己。三曰不敢為天下先，執謙退，不為唱也。慈，故能勇，以慈仁，故能勇於忠孝。儉，故能廣，身能節儉，故民日用寬廣也。不敢為天下先，故能成器長，成器長，謂得道人也。我能為道人之長也。今舍慈且勇，今世人舍慈仁，但為勇武。舍儉且廣，舍其儉約，但為奢泰。舍後且先，舍其後己，但為人先。死矣。所行如此，動入死道。夫慈，以戰則勝，以守則固，夫慈仁者，百姓親附，故戰則勝敵，以守衛則堅固也。用兵有言，陳用兵之道，老子疾時用兵，故托己設其義也。吾不敢為主，主，先也。不敢先舉兵也。而為客，客者，和而不唱，用兵當承天而後動也。不敢進寸而退尺，侵人境界，利人財寶為進，閉門守城為退也。禍莫大於輕敵，夫禍亂之害，莫大於欺輕敵家，侵取不休，輕戰貪財也。輕敵幾喪吾寶，幾，近也。寶，身也。欺輕敵家，近喪身也。故抗兵相加，哀者勝矣。哀者慈仁士卒，不遠於死也。 |
