Dì èrshíliù zhāng zhòng wèi qīng gēn, jìng wèi zào jūn. Shì yǐ jūn zi zhōngrì xíng bùlí zīzhòng. Suī yǒu róng guān, yàn chù chāorán. Nàihé wàn chéng zhī zhǔ, ér yǐ shēn qīng tiānxià. Qīng zé shī gēn, zào zé shī jūn. ---------------------- 26. Calm Gravity is the source of lightness, Calm, the master of haste.
A lone traveller will journey all day, watching over his belongings; Yet once safe in his bed he will lose them in sleep.
The captain of a great vessel will not act lightly or hastily. Acting lightly, he loses sight of the world, Acting hastily, he loses control of himself.
A captain cannot treat his great ship as a small boat; Rather than glitter like jade He must stand like stone.
