1 益谦:
曲则全,曲己从众,不自专,则全其身也。枉则直,枉,屈己而伸人,久久自得直也。洼则盈,地洼下,水流之;人谦下,德归之。敝则新,自受弊薄,后己先人,天下敬之,久久自新也。少则得,自受取少则得多也,天道佑谦,神明托虚。多则惑。财多者,惑于所守,学多者,惑于所闻。是以圣人抱一为天下式。抱,守也。式,法也。圣人守一,乃知万事,故能为天下法式也。不自见故明,圣人不以其目视千里之外也,乃因天下之目以视,故能明达也。不自是故彰,圣人不自以为是而非人,故能彰显于世。不自伐故有功,伐,取也。圣人德化流行,不自取其美,故有功于天下。不自矜故长。矜,大也。圣人不自贵大,故能久不危。夫惟不争,故天下莫能与之争。此言天下贤与不肖,无能与不争者争也。古之所谓曲则全者,岂虚言哉。传古言,曲从则全身,此言非虚妄也。诚全而归之。诚,实也。能行曲从者,实其肌体,归之于父母,无有伤害也。
