| Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness. | ||||||
| All can know good as good only because there is evil. | ||||||
| Therefore having and not having arise together. | ||||||
| Difficult and easy complement each other. | ||||||
| Long and short contrast each other; | ||||||
| High and low rest upon each other; | ||||||
| Voice and sound harmonize each other; | ||||||
| Front and back follow one another. | ||||||
| Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking. | ||||||
| The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease, | ||||||
| Creating, yet not possessing, | ||||||
| Working, yet not taking credit. | ||||||
| Work is done, then forgotten. | ||||||
|
Therefore it lasts forever Lao Tsu |
