Dì liùshísì zhāng qí ānyì chí, qí wèi zhào yì móu. Qí cuì yì pàn, qí wēi yì sàn. Wéi zhī yú wèi yǒu, zhìzhī yú wèi luàn. Hébào zhī mù, shēng yú háomò﹔jiǔ céng zhī tái, qǐ yú lèi tǔ﹔qiānlǐ zhī xíng, shǐ yú zúxià. Mín zhī cóngshì, cháng yú jǐ chéng ér bài zhī. Shèn zhōng rú shǐ, zé wú bài shì. ------------------------------------------ 64a. Care at the Beginning What lies still is easy to grasp; What lies far off is easy to anticipate; What is brittle is easy to shatter; What is small is easy to disperse.
Yet a tree broader than a man can embrace is born of a tiny shoot; A dam greater than a river can overflow starts with a clod of earth; A journey of a thousand miles begins at the spot under one's feet.
Therefore deal with things before they happen; Create order before there is confusion. 64b. Care at the End He who acts, spoils; He who grasps, loses. People often fail on the verge of success; Take care at the end as at the beginning, So that you may avoid failure.
The sage desires no-desire, Values no-value, Learns no-learning, And returns to the places that people have forgotten; He would help all people to become natural, But then he would not be natural.
