2。 It is the Way of Heaven to diminish superabundance; and to
supplement deficiency。 It is not so with the way of man。 He takes away
from those who have not enough to add to his own superabundance。
3。 Who can take his own superabundance and therewith serve all under
heaven? Only he who is in possession of the Tao!
4。 Therefore the (ruling) sage acts without claiming the results as his;
he achieves his merit and does not rest (arrogantly) in it:he does not wish
to display his superiority。
78。 1。 There is nothing in the world more soft and weak than water;
and yet for attacking things that are firm and strong there is nothing that
can take precedence of it;for there is nothing (so effectual) for which it
can be changed。
2。 Every one in the world knows that the soft overcomes the hard; and
the weak the strong; but no one is able to carry it out in practice。
3。 Therefore a sage has said; 'He who accepts his state's reproach;
Is hailed therefore its altars' lord; To him who bears men's direful

woes They all the name of King accord。'
4。 Words that are strictly true seem to be paradoxical。
79。 1。 When a reconciliation is effected (between two parties) after a
great animosity; there is sure to be a grudge remaining (in the mind of the
one who was wrong)。 And how can this be beneficial (to the other)?
2。 Therefore (to guard against this); the sage keeps the left…hand
portion of the record of the engagement; and does not insist on the (speedy)
fulfilment of it by the other party。 (So); he who has the attributes (of the
Tao) regards (only) the conditions of the engagement; while he who has
not those attributes regards only the conditions favourable to himself。
3。 In the Way of Heaven; there is no partiality of love; it is always on
the side of the good man。
80。 1。 In a little state with a small population; I would so order it; that;
though there were individuals with the abilities of ten or a hundred men;
there should be no employment of them; I would make the people; while
looking on death as a grievous thing; yet not remove elsewhere (to avoid
it)。
2。 Though they had boats and carriages; they should have no occasion
to ride in them; though they had buff coats and sharp weapons; they
should have no occasion to don or use them。
3。 I would make the people return to the use of knotted cords (instead
of the written characters)。
4。 They should think their (coarse) food sweet; their (plain) clothes
beautiful; their (poor) dwellings places of rest; and their common (simple)
ways sources of enjoyment。
5。 There should be a neighbouring state within sight; and the voices of
the fowls and dogs should be heard all the way from it to us; but I would
make the people to old age; even to death; not have any intercourse with it。
81。 1。 Sincere words are not fine; fine words are not sincere。 Those
who are skilled (in the Tao) do not dispute (about it); the disputatious are
not skilled in it。 Those who know (the Tao) are not extensively learned;
the extensively learned do not know it。
2。 The sage does not accumulate (for himself)。 The more that he
expends for others; the more does he possess of his own; the more that he
29

gives to others; the more does he have himself。
3。 With all the sharpness of the Way of Heaven; it injures not; with all
the doing in the way of the sage he does not strive。
