Dì wǔ zhāng: Tiāndì bùrén, yǐ wànwù wèi chú gǒu; shèngrén bùrén, yǐ bǎixìng wèi chú gǒu. Tiāndì zhī jiān, qí yóu tuó yuè hū! Xū ér bùqū, dòng ér yù chū. Duō yán shù qióng, bùrú shǒu zhōng. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Nature Nature is not kind; It treats all things impartially. The Sage is not kind, And treats all people impartially.
Nature is like a bellows, Empty, yet never ceasing its supply. The more it moves, the more it yields; So the sage draws upon experience And cannot be exhausted.
