Dì wǔshíbā zhāng Qí zhèng mènmèn, qí mín chún chún. Qí zhèng chá chá, qí mín quē quē. Huò xī fú zhī suǒ yǐ, fú xī huò zhī suǒ fú. Shú zhī qí jí? Zhèng fù wéi qí, shàn fù wèi yāo.

No End When government is lazy and informal The people are kind and honest; When government is efficient and severe The people are discontented and deceitful.
Good fortune follows upon disaster; Disaster lurks within good fortune; Who can say how things will end? Perhaps there is no end.
Honesty is ever deceived; Kindness is ever seduced; Men have been like this for a long time.
So the sage is firm but not cutting, Pointed but not piercing, Straight but not rigid, Bright but not blinding.
