1 聖德:
道常無名,道能陰能陽,能弛能張,能存能亡,故無常名也。樸雖小,天下莫能臣也。道樸雖小,微妙無形,天下不敢有臣使道者也。侯王若能守之,萬物將自賓。侯王若能守道無為,萬物將自賓,服從於德也。天地相合,以降甘露,侯王動作能與天相應和,天即降下甘露善瑞也。民莫之令而自均。天降甘露善瑞,則萬物莫有教令之者,皆自均調若一也。始制有名,始,道也。有名,萬物也。道無名能制於有名,無形,能制於有形也。名亦既有,既,盡也。有名之物,盡有情欲,叛道離德,故身毀辱也。夫亦將知之。人能法道行德,天亦將自知之。知之,所以不殆。天知之,則神靈祐助,不復危怠。譬道之在天下,猶川谷之與江海。譬言道之在天下,與人相應和,如川谷與江海相流通也。
