44 道德经:
名与身孰亲?身与货孰多?得与亡孰病?是故甚爱必大费;多藏必厚亡。知足不辱,知止不殆,可以长久。
Dao De Jing:
(Cautions)
Or fame or life,
Which do you hold more dear?
Or life or wealth,
To which would you adhere?
Keep life and lose those other things;
Keep them and lose your life: - which brings
Sorrow and pain more near?

Thus we may see,
Who cleaves to fame
Rejects what is more great;
Who loves large stores
Gives up the richer state.

Who is content
Needs fear no shame.
Who knows to stop
Incurs no blame.
From danger free
Long live shall he.
