道德经英文版（洪德第四十五）
~{ 大成若缺，其用不弊。~}
~{ 大盈若冲，其用不穷。~}
~{ 大直若屈，大巧若拙，大辩若讷。~}
~{ 静胜躁，寒胜热。清静为天下正。~}
45. Quiet
Great perfection seems incomplete,
But does not decay;
Great abundance seems empty,
But does not fail.
Great truth seems paradox;
Great cleverness seems foolish;
Great eloquence seems simple.
As spring overcomes the cold,
And autumn overcomes the heat,
So calm and quiet overcome the world.
