Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 7
天長地久。天地所以能長且久者，以其不自生，故能長生。 是以聖人後其身而身先；外其身而身存。非以其無私耶？故能成其私。 The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings. The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that …

Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 34
大道汎兮，其可左右。 萬物恃之而生而不辭，功成不名有。 衣養萬物而不為主，常無欲，可名於小； 萬物歸焉，而不為主，可名為大。 以其終不自為大，故能成其大。 The great Tao flows everywhere, both to the left and to the right. All things depend upon it; it holds nothing back. It fulfills its purpose and makes no claim. It nourishes all things, And yet does not dominate them. It has no desire; you can name it small. All …

將欲取天下而為之，吾見其不得已。 天下神器，不可為也，為者敗之，執者失之。 故物或行或隨；或歔或吹；或強或羸；或挫或隳。 是以聖人去甚，去奢，去泰。 There are those who will conquer the world And make of it (what they conceive or desire). I see that they will not succeed. (For) the world is God’s own Vessel It cannot be made (by human interference). He who makes it spoils it. He who holds it loses it. For: …
