道德经英文版（任成第三十四）
~{ 大道泛兮，其可左右。万物恃之以生而不辞，功成而不有。衣养~}
~{万物而不为主，可名于小；万物归焉而不为主，可名为大。以其终不~}~{自为大，故能成其大。~}
Flow rises and ebbs, creating and destroying,
Implementing all the world, attending to the tiniest details,
Claiming nothing in return.
It nurtures all things,
Though it does not control them;
It has no intention,
So it seems inconsequential.
It is the substance of all things;
Though it does not control them;
It has no exception,
So it seems all-important.
The gentle would not control the world;
They are in harmony with the world.
