李嘉诚名言
Li Ka-shing’s famous quotes

一、李嘉诚关于勤奋的名言
I. Li Ka-shing’s quotes on diligence

1、创业的过程，实际上就是恒心和毅力坚持不懈的发展过程，其中并没有什么秘密，但要真正做到中国古老的格言所说的勤和俭也不太容易。而且，从创业之初开始，还要不断学习，把握时机。
1. The process of starting a business is essentially the development of perseverance and unremitting determination, and there is no secret in it. However, to truly achieve the ancient Chinese saying of diligence and thrift is not easy. Moreover, from the very beginning of starting a business, one must keep learning and seizing opportunities.

2、在20岁前，事业上的成果百分之百靠双手勤劳换来；20岁至30岁之前，事业已有些小基础，那10年的成功，10%靠运气好，90%仍是由勤劳得来；之后，机会的比例也渐渐提高；到现在，运气已差不多要占三至四成了。
2. Before the age of 20, 100% of my business achievements were earned through hard work with my own hands; from 20 to 30 years old, when my career had some foundation, 10% of the success in those 10 years was due to good luck, and 90% was still achieved through diligence; later, the proportion of opportunities gradually increased; now, luck accounts for almost 30 to 40%.

3、知识不仅是指课本的内容，还包括社会经验、文明文化、时代精神等整体要素，才有竞争力，知识是新时代的资本，五六十年代人靠勤劳可以成事；今天的香港要抢知识，要以知识取胜。
3. Knowledge is not only about the content of textbooks but also includes overall elements such as social experience, civilization and culture, and the spirit of the times, which gives us competitiveness. Knowledge is the capital of the new era. In the 1950s and 1960s, people could succeed through diligence; today in Hong Kong, we must seize knowledge and win with knowledge.

4、勤奋是一切事业的基础。要勤力努力，对企业负责、对股东负责。
4. Diligence is the foundation of all endeavors. Work hard and be responsible to the company and shareholders.

5、我17岁就开始做批发的推销员，就更加体会到挣钱的不容易、生活的艰辛了。人家做8个小时，我就做16个小时。
5. I started as a wholesale salesperson at the age of 17, and I have a deeper understanding of the difficulty of making money and the hardships of life. While others work for 8 hours, I work for 16 hours.

6、无论我晚上几点睡觉，我都在早晨固定的时间醒来（5点59分），因为要听早晨的新闻。
6. No matter what time I go to bed at night, I always wake up at a fixed time in the morning (5:59 am) to listen to the morning news.

7、做事投入是十分重要的。你对你的事业有兴趣，你的工作一定会做得好。——李嘉诚
7. Being dedicated to your work is very important. If you are interested in your career, you will definitely do a good job. - Li Ka-shing

8、在逆境的时候，你要问自己是否有足够的条件。当我自己逆境的时候，我认为我够！因为我勤奋、节俭、有毅力，我肯求知及肯建立一个信誉。
8. In adversity, you should ask yourself if you have enough conditions. When I face adversity, I believe I do! Because I am diligent, frugal, and persistent. I am willing to learn and establish a good reputation.

9、别人是求学问，我是抢学问。
9. Others seek knowledge, but I grab it.

10、年轻时我表面谦虚，其实我内心很骄傲。为什么骄傲呢？因为同事们去玩的时候，我去求学问；他们每天保持原状，而自己的学问日渐提高。
10. When I was young, I appeared modest on the surface, but in fact, I was very proud inside. Why was I proud? Because while my colleagues went out to play, I sought knowledge; while they remained the same every day, my knowledge continued to improve.

11、12岁开始做学徒，不到15岁就挑起一家人生活的担子，再没有受过正规的教育。当时自己非常清楚，只有我努力工作，和求取知识，才是我唯一的出路，我有一点钱都去买书，记在脑子里面，才去再换另外一本，到我今天来讲，每一个晚上，在我睡觉之前，我还是一定的看书，知识并不决定你一生财富的增加，但是你的机会更加多了，你创造机会，才是最好的途径。
11. I started as an apprentice at the age of 12 and took on the responsibility of supporting my family before I turned 15. I never received formal education. At that time, I was very clear that only through hard work and the pursuit of knowledge could I find a way out. I spent every bit of money I had on books, memorized them, and then exchanged them for another book. Today, every night before I go to sleep, I still make sure to read. Knowledge does not determine the increase in your wealth throughout your life, but it does provide you with more opportunities. Creating opportunities is the best way.

12、我认为勤奋是个人成功的要素，所谓一分耕耘，一分收获，一个人所获得的报酬和成果，与他所付出的努力是有极大的关系。运气只是一个小因素，个人的努力才是创造事业的最基本条件。
12. I believe that diligence is the key to personal success. As the saying goes, “you reap what you sow.” The rewards and achievements a person receives are greatly related to the efforts they have made. Luck is just a small factor, and personal effort is the most basic condition for creating a career.

13、我从不间断读新科技、新知识的书籍，不至因为不了解新讯息而和时代潮流脱节。
13. I never stop reading books on new technology and knowledge to avoid being out of touch with the latest information and trends.

3. Once a person loses credibility, others will no longer be willing to interact or trade with him. People would rather seek out those with reliable credit, as his dishonesty may lead to many troubles.

三、李嘉诚关于做人的名言
III. Li Ka-shing’s famous quotes on personal conduct

1、做人最要紧的是让人由衷地喜欢你，敬佩你本人，而不是你的财力，也不是表面上的服从。

2、人，第一要有志，第二要有识，第三要有恒，有志则断不甘为下流。
2. A person should first have ambition, second have knowledge, and third have perseverance. With ambition, one will never be content with being mediocre.

3、保持低调，才能避免树大招风，才能避免成为别人进攻的靶子。如果你不过分显示自己，就不会招惹别人的敌意，别人也就无法捕捉你的虚实。
3. Maintain a low profile to avoid attracting unwanted attention and becoming a target for others. If you don’t show off too much, you won’t provoke hostility, and others won’t be able to gauge your strengths and weaknesses.

4、凡事都留个余地，因为人是人，人不是神，不免有错处，可以原谅人的地方，就原谅人。
4. Always leave room for error, as humans are not infallible. Where possible, forgive others.

5、坏人固然要防备，但坏人毕竟是少数，人不能因噎废食，不能为了防备极少数坏人连朋友也拒之门外。更重要的是，为了防备坏人的猜疑，算计别人，必然会使自己成为孤家寡人，既没有了朋友，也失去了事业上的合作者，最终只能落个失败的下场。
5. It’s true that we should be wary of bad people, but they are a minority. We can’t avoid making friends just to protect ourselves from a few bad individuals. Moreover, being suspicious and calculating to guard against bad people will only lead to isolation, losing friends and business partners, and ultimately failure.

6、人要去求生意就比较难，生意跑来找你，你就容易做，那如何才能让生意来找你？那就要靠朋友。如何结交朋友？那就要善待他人，充分考虑到对方的利益。
6. It’s difficult to seek out business opportunities, but when business comes to you, it’s easier to succeed. How can you attract business? By making friends and treating others well, considering their interests.

7、人才取之不尽，用之不竭。你对人好，人家对你好是很自然的，世界上任何人也都可以成为你的核心人物。
7. Talent is endless and inexhaustible. If you treat others well, it’s natural for them to treat you well in return. Anyone in the world can become your key person.

8、要了解下属的希望。除了生活，应给予员工好的前途；并且，一切以员工的利益为重，特别是年老的时候，公司应该给予员工绝对的保障，从而使员工对集团有归属感，以增强企业的凝聚力。
8. Understand the aspirations of your subordinates. In addition to providing a good life, offer employees a promising future and prioritize their interests, especially in their old age. The company should provide absolute security for employees, fostering a sense of belonging and enhancing corporate cohesion.

9、对人诚恳，做事负责，多结善缘，自然多得人的帮助。淡泊明志，随遇而安，不作非分之想，心境安泰，必少许多失意之苦。
9. Be sincere in your dealings with others, responsible in your actions, and make good connections. Naturally, you will receive more help from others. Be content with what you have and adapt to circumstances; avoid unreasonable desires, and you will suffer less disappointment.

10、在看苏东坡的故事后，就知道什么叫无故受伤害。苏东坡没有野心，但就是给人陷害，他弟弟说得对：我哥哥错在出名，错在高调。这个真是很无奈的过失。
10. After reading the story of Su Dongpo, you will understand what it means to be unfairly hurt. Su Dongpo had no ambitions, but he was still framed. His brother was right: my brother’s mistake was in being famous and high-profile. This is a very helpless fault.

11、讲信用，够朋友。这么多年来，差不多到今天为止，任何一个国家的人，任何一个省份的中国人，跟我做伙伴的，合作之后都成为好朋友，从来没有一件事闹过不开心，这一点是我引以为荣的事。
11. Keep your word and be a good friend. Over the years, up until today, people from any country and any province of China who have partnered with me have become good friends after our cooperation. I have never had any unhappy incidents, and I take pride in this.

12、我觉得，顾及对方的利益是最重要的，不能把目光仅仅局限在自己的利上，两者是相辅相成的，自己舍得让利，让对方得利，最终还是会给自己带来较大的利益。占小便宜的不会有朋友，这是我小的时候我母亲就告诉给我的道理，经商也是这样。
12. I believe that considering the interests of others is the most important thing. We cannot focus solely on our own interests, as they are complementary. By giving up some of our own benefits and allowing others to benefit, we will ultimately gain greater benefits. Those who seek small advantages will have no friends; this is a lesson my mother taught me when I was young, and it applies to business as well.

13、大部分的人都有部分长处部分短处，好像大象食量以斗计，蚂蚁一小勺便足够。各尽所能，各得所需，以量才而用为原则；又像一部机器，假如主要的机件需要用五百匹马力去发动，虽然半匹马力与五匹马力相比是小得多，但也能发挥其一部分作用。
13. Most people have their strengths and weaknesses, just as an elephant consumes large amounts of food while an ant needs only a小勺. Everyone should do their best and receive what they need, based on their abilities; it’s like a machine, where the main components require 500 horsepower to operate, but even 0.5 or 5 horsepower can still play a role.

14、知人善任，大多数人都会有部分的长处，部分的短处，各尽所能，各得所需，以量才而用为原则。

10. In the past, I spent 99% of my time teaching my children the principles of life; now I sometimes talk to them about business… but about one-third of the time is spent on business, and two-thirds on teaching them the principles of life. Because understanding the world is the real knowledge.

11、不敢说一定没有命运，但假如一件事在天时、地利、人和等方面皆相背时，那肯定不会成功。若我们贸然去做，失败时便埋怨命运，这是不对的。

1. Expand cautiously, and be cautious while expanding. …What I advocate is striking a balance between prudence and aggressiveness. The ship must sail fast, but it must withstand the wind and waves.

2、未攻之前一定先要守，每一个政策的实施之前都必须做到这一点。当我着手进攻的时候，我要确信，有超过百分之一百的能力。换句话说，即使本来有一百的力量足以成事，但我要储足二百的力量才去攻，而不是随便去赌一赌。
2. Before attacking, one must first ensure defense. This must be done before implementing every policy. When I start attacking, I want to make sure that I have more than 100% of the ability. In other words, even if 100% of the strength is enough to succeed, I will store 200% of the strength before attacking, rather than just taking a chance.

3、与其到头来收拾残局，甚至做成蚀本生意，倒不如当时理智克制一些。
3. It is better to be rational and restrained at the time than to deal with the aftermath or even end up with a loss-making business.

4. When investing, I first imagine how far the investment can fail. It doesn’t matter if the success is several times more; I have also made investments that earned more than ten times. Some businesses have gone very well, and I rarely suffer losses because I am not greedy.

5、决定一件事时，事先都会小心谨慎研究清楚，当决定后，就勇往直前去做。
5. When deciding on a matter, I will carefully and cautiously study it beforehand. Once the decision is made, I will proceed with determination.

6、我凡事必有充分的准备然后才去做。一向以来，做生意处理事情都是如此。例如天文台说天气很好，但我常常问我自己，如5分钟后宣布有台风，我会怎样，在香港做生意，亦要保持这种心理准备。
6. I always make adequate preparations before doing anything. This has always been the case in doing business and handling affairs. For example, when the meteorological department says the weather is good, I often ask myself what I would do if a typhoon were announced in 5 minutes. Doing business in Hong Kong also requires this kind of mental preparation.

7、我们中国人有句做生意的话：“未买先想卖”,你还没有买进来，你就先想怎么卖出去，你应该先想失败会怎么样。因为成功的效果是100%或50%之差别根本不是太重要，但是如果一小漏洞不及早修补，可能带给企业极大损害。
7. We Chinese have a saying in business: “Think about selling before buying.” Before you even buy something, you should first think about how to sell it. You should first consider what would happen in case of failure. Because the difference between 100% or 50% success is not too important, but if a small leak is not repaired in time, it may cause great damage to the enterprise.

10. I will keep researching the problems that each project may face under bad circumstances, so I often spend 90% of my time considering failure.

六、李嘉诚关于商业的名言
6. Li Ka-shing on Business

1、我老是在说一句话，亲人并不一定就是亲信。一个人你要跟他相处，日子久了，你觉得他的思路跟你一样是正面的，那你就应该可以信任他；你交给他的每一项重要工作，他都会做，这个人就可以做你的亲信。
1. I always say that relatives are not necessarily confidants. If you get along with someone and find that their thinking is positive and similar to yours, then you can trust them. If they can handle every important task you give them, then they can be your confidant.

4. Always be on the lookout for business opportunities around you to seize the moment and grasp the starting point of the rising wave. The faster you start, the better. A businessman should immediately think of making money when encountering unusual events.

5、做生意要冷静，打高尔夫也一样，第一杆即使打的不好，如果可以保持冷静，有计划，并不表示你会输。这和做人做生意一样，有高低潮，身处逆境时，你就要考虑如何来应付。
5. In business, one must remain calm, just as in golf. Even if the first shot isn’t good, if you can stay calm and plan, it doesn’t mean you will lose. This is similar to life and business, with ups and downs. When facing adversity, you should consider how to cope.

6、在剧烈的竞争当中多付出一点，便可多赢一点。就像参加奥运会一样，你看一、二、三名，跑第一的往往只是快了那么一点点。
6. In fierce competition, giving a little more can win you a little more. Just like in the Olympics, the first, second, and third place winners are often separated by just a small margin.

7、当我做生意时，就警惕自己，若我有骄傲之心，迟早有一天是会碰壁的。
7. When doing business, I remind myself that if I become arrogant, I will eventually hit a wall.

8、我认为要像西方那样，有制度且比较进取，用两种方式来做，而不是全盘西化或是全盘儒家。儒家有它的好处，也有它的短处，儒家在进取方面是很不够的。
8. I believe we should adopt the Western approach, with systems and a more aggressive attitude, using a combination of methods instead of fully embracing Westernization or Confucianism. Confucianism has its strengths and weaknesses; it lacks aggressiveness.

9. Always maintain a sense of innovation, observe the world with your own perspective, and do not follow the crowd.

10、一个人凭己的经验得出的结论当然是最好，但是时间就浪费得多了，如果能将书本知识和实际工作结合起来，那才是最好的。
10. It’s best to draw conclusions from one’s own experience, but it takes more time. Combining book knowledge with practical work is the best approach.

11、政策的实施要沉稳持重。在企业内部打下一个良好的基础，注重培养企业管理人员的应变能力。决定一件事情之前，应想好一切应变之法，而不去冒险妄进。
11. The implementation of policies should be steady and cautious. Establish a solid foundation within the company and focus on developing the adaptability of management personnel. Before making a decision, consider all possible contingencies and avoid taking unnecessary risks.

12、要信赖下属。公司所有的行政人员，每个人都有其消息来源及市场资料。决定任何一件大事，应召集有关人员一起，汇合各人的资讯，从而集思广益，尽量减少出错的机会。
12. Trust your subordinates. All administrative staff have their own sources of information and market data. When deciding on significant matters, gather relevant personnel to pool their knowledge and minimize the chances of errors.

13、给下属树立高效率的榜样。集中讲座具体事情之前，应预早几天通知有关人员准备资料，以便对答时精简确当，从而提供工作效率。
13. Set a high-efficiency example for your subordinates. Notify relevant personnel several days in advance before discussing specific matters, so they can prepare materials and provide concise and accurate responses, thus improving work efficiency.

16. If it weren’t for so many people working for me today, even with three heads and six arms, I wouldn’t be able to handle so many tasks. The key to success is having people who can help you and are willing to work with you; that’s my philosophy.

17、你们不要老提我，我算什么超人，是大家同心协力的结果。我身边有300员虎将，其中100人是外国人，200人是年富力强的香港人。
17. Don’t always talk about me; I’m not a superman. It’s the result of everyone working together. I have 300 tiger-like generals by my side, 100 of whom are foreigners and 200 are strong, young Hong Kong people.

18、一个总司令，是一个集团军的统帅，拿起机关枪总不会胜过机关枪手，走到炮兵队操作大炮也不如炮兵。但作为集团军的总司令不要管这些，只要懂得运用战略便可以，所以整个组织十分重要。
18. A commander-in-chief is the leader of a group army; they won’t be better than a machine gunner with a machine gun or a炮兵 operating a cannon. As the commander-in-chief, one doesn’t need to manage these details, just know how to apply strategy, so the entire organization is essential.

21、好的时候不要看得太好，坏的时候不要看得太坏。最重要的是要有远见，杀鸡取卵的方式是短视的行为。
21. Don’t be overly optimistic in good times, nor too pessimistic in bad times. The most important thing is to have foresight; the approach of killing the chicken for its eggs is shortsighted.

22、中国古人讲：万变不离其宗。这个宗就是指合乎实际情况，合乎道理。变是一定要变的，这个世界本来就是丰富多彩的，千变万化的。
22. Ancient Chinese people said: “No matter how things change, they always return to their origin.” This origin refers to being in accordance with the actual situation and reason. Change is inevitable, as the world is originally diverse and ever-changing.

23、精明的商人只有嗅觉敏锐才能将商业情报作用发挥到极致，那种感觉迟钝、闭门自锁的公司老板常常会无所作为。

35. It is no exaggeration to say that a large enterprise is like a big family, with every employee being a member of the family. Thanks to their significant contributions to the entire family, they truly deserve their rewards.

39. Provide employees with good treatment and prospects, making them feel valued. Of course, there should also be a good system of supervision and checks and balances, otherwise, even a good person may go bad when they are far away from oversight.

40、一间小的家庭式公司要一手一脚去做，得当公司发展大子，便要让员工有归属感，令他们感到安心，这是十分重要的。管理之道，简单来说是知人善任，但在原则上一定要令他们有归属感，要他们喜欢你。
40. A small family-style company requires personal involvement in every aspect. As the company grows, it is essential to create a sense of belonging for employees, making them feel secure. This is very important. The art of management, in simple terms, is to know people’s strengths and assign them suitable tasks, but in principle, it is crucial to make them feel a sense of belonging and like you.

41、在我心目中，不理你是什么样的肤色，不理你是什么样的国籍，只要你对公司有贡献，忠诚、肯做事、有归属感，即有长期的打算，我就会帮他慢慢地经过一个时期而成为核心分子，这是我公司一向的政策。
41. In my opinion, regardless of your skin color or nationality, as long as you contribute to the company, are loyal, willing to work, and have a sense of belonging, meaning you have long-term plans, I will help you gradually become a core member after a period. This has always been the policy of my company.

18. Do not exalt the worthy, so that the people will not compete; do not value rare treasures, so that the people will not steal; do not display desirable things, so that the people’s hearts will not be disturbed. Thus, the sage governs by emptying the minds, filling the bellies, weakening the ambitions, and strengthening the bones. Always keep the people without knowledge and desires. Then, those who are wise will not dare to act. By doing nothing, there is nothing left undone.

19.天地不仁，以万物为刍狗；圣人不仁，以百姓为刍狗。
19. Heaven and Earth are not benevolent, they treat all things as straw dogs; sages are not benevolent, they treat the people as straw dogs.

23. There is something blended and formed, born before heaven and earth. It is quiet and vast, standing alone and unchanging, traveling around and not failing.

Greatness means passing, passing means going far, and going far means returning.

25. To hold and fill something is not as good as stopping; to sharpen and make it sharp, it cannot be preserved for long. A hall full of gold and jade cannot be guarded; being rich and arrogant brings one’s own misfortune. When the task is completed, one should withdraw, as this is the way of heaven.

26.三十辐，共一毂，当其无，有车之用。埏埴以为器，当其无，有器之用。凿户牖以为室，当其无，有室之用。故有之以为利，无之以为用。
26. Thirty spokes share one hub; it is the empty space that makes the cart useful. Clay is shaped to make vessels; it is the empty space that makes the vessels useful. Windows and doors are cut for a room; it is the empty space that makes the room useful. Therefore, having is for profit, and not having is for use.

27.五色令人目盲；五音令人耳聋；五味令人口爽；驰骋畋猎，令人心发狂；难得之货，令人行妨。是以圣人为腹不为目，故去彼取此。
27. Five colors make one blind; five sounds make one deaf; five flavors make one lose taste; galloping and hunting make one’s heart go mad; rare goods make one act dishonestly. Thus, the sage provides for the belly and not for the eyes, so he abandons the latter and chooses the former.

28. To be宠辱 (favored or humiliated) is like being startled; to regard great misfortune as one’s own body.

29. The highest is not known; the next is loved and praised; the next is feared; the next is despised. When trust is insufficient, there is disbelief.

30.大道废，有仁义；智慧出，有大伪；六亲不和，有孝慈；国家昏乱，有忠臣。
30. When the great Way is abandoned, there is benevolence and righteousness; when wisdom emerges, there is great deception; when relatives are not harmonious, there is filial piety and kindness; when the state is chaotic, there are loyal ministers.

31.绝圣弃智，民利百倍；绝仁弃义，民复孝慈；绝巧弃利，盗贼无有。此三者以为文，不足。故令有所属：见素抱朴，少思寡欲，绝学无忧。
31. Abandoning the sage and wisdom, the people will benefit a hundredfold; abandoning benevolence and righteousness, the people will return to filial piety and kindness; abandoning cunning and profit, there will be no thieves. These three are considered as patterns, but they are not enough. Therefore, there is a command to belong to: see simplicity and embrace purity, have few thoughts and desires, abandon learning and have no worries.

32.人之所畏，不可不畏。
32. What people fear cannot be不畏 (feared).

33.俗人昭昭，我独昏昏。俗人察察，我独闷闷。
33. Ordinary people are bright and clear, but I alone am dim and dark. Ordinary people are sharp and observant, but I alone am dull and silent.

34.譬道之在天下，犹川谷之于江海。
34. The Way in the world is like rivers and valleys flowing into the sea.

35.知人者智，自知者明。胜人者有力，自胜者强。知足者富。强行者有志。不失其所者久。死而不亡者寿。以其终不自为大，故能成其大。
35. Knowing others is wisdom; knowing oneself is enlightenment. Conquering others is strength; conquering oneself is power. Being content is wealth. Persisting is ambition. Not losing one’s place is longevity. To die and not perish is true life. Because it does not consider itself great, it can achieve greatness.

36.物壮则老，是谓不道，不道早已。
36. When things become strong, they grow old; this is called not following the Way, and not following the Way leads to an early end.

37.夫兵者，不祥之器，物或恶之，故有道者不处。
37. Weapons are inauspicious tools; all creatures detest them, so those who follow the Way do not use them.

38.无狎其所居，无厌其所生。夫唯不厌，是以不厌。是以圣人自知不自见；自爱不自贵。故去彼取此。
38. Do not be familiar with where you live; do not be tired of where you are born. Only by not being tired can you avoid being tired. Therefore, the sage knows himself but does not show off; loves himself but does not value himself. Thus, he abandons the former and chooses the latter.

39.勇于敢则杀，勇于不敢则活。此两者，或利或害。天之所恶，孰知其故？
39. Being brave in daring leads to death; being brave in not daring leads to life. These two are either beneficial or harmful. Who knows the reason for heaven’s dislike?

40.慈故能勇；俭故能广；不敢为天下先，故能成器长。今舍慈且勇；舍俭且广；舍后且先；死矣！夫慈以战则胜，以守则固。天将救之，以慈卫之。
40. Being compassionate makes one brave; being frugal makes one broad; not daring to be the first in the world, one can become the leader. Now, abandon compassion and be brave; abandon frugality and be broad; abandon being last and be first; this leads to death! Being compassionate in battle leads to victory, and in defense, it leads to strength. Heaven will save and protect with compassion.

41.道之尊，德之贵，夫莫之命而常自然。故道生之，德畜之；长之育之；成之熟之；养之覆之。生而不有，为而不恃，长而不宰。是谓玄德。
41. The尊贵之道，德之贵重，无人命令却恒自然。因此，道生之，德畜之；培育之，成熟之；养育之，保护之。生而不占有，为而不依赖，长而不主宰。这便是玄德。

42.修之于身，其德乃真；修之于家，其德乃馀；修之于乡，其德乃长；修之于邦，其德乃丰；修之于天下，其德乃普。故以身观身，以家观家，以乡观乡，以邦观邦，以天下观天下。吾何以知天下然哉？以此。
42.修道于身，其德乃真；修道于家，其德乃余；修道于乡，其德乃长；修道于国，其德乃丰；修道于天下，其德乃普。因此，以身观身，以家观家，以乡观乡，以国观国，以天下观天下。我何以知天下如此？凭此。

43.为学日益，为道日损。损之又损，以至于无为。
43.为学日益，为道日损。损之又损，以至于无为。

44.天之道，其犹张弓欤？高者抑之，下者举之；有馀者损之，不足者补之。天之道，损有馀而补不足。人之道，则不然，损不足以奉有馀。孰能有馀以奉天下，唯有道者。
44.天道犹如张弓乎？高者抑之，低者举之；有馀者损之，不足者补之。天道，损有馀而补不足。人道则不然，损不足以奉有馀。谁能有馀以奉天下？唯有道者。

54.民之饥，以其上食税之多，是以饥。民之难治，以其上之有为，是以难治。民之轻死，以其上求生之厚，是以轻死。夫唯无以生为者，是贤于贵生。
54.民之饥，因其上食税多，故饥。民之难治，因其上有为，故难治。民之轻死，因其上求生厚，故轻死。唯无以为生者，贤于贵生者。

55.挫其锐，解其纷，和其光，同其尘，是谓“玄同”。故不可得而亲，不可得而疏；不可得而利，不可得而害；不可得而贵，不可得而贱。故为天下贵。

56.以正治国，以奇用兵，以无事取天下。吾何以知其然哉？以此：天下多忌讳，而民弥贫；人多利器，国家滋昏；人多伎巧，奇物滋起；法令滋彰，盗贼多有。故圣人云：“我无为，而民自化；我好静，而民自正；我无事，而民自富；我无欲，而民自朴。”
56.以正治国，以奇用兵，以无事取天下。我何以知其然哉？凭此：天下多忌讳，民愈贫；人多利器，国愈昏；人多伎巧，奇物愈起；法令愈彰，盗贼愈多。故圣人云：”我无为，而民自化；我好静，而民自正；我无事，而民自富；我无欲，而民自朴。”

60.治人事天，莫若啬。
60.治人事天，莫若啬。

61.善为士者，不武；善战者，不怒；善胜敌者，不与；善用人者，为之下。是谓不争之德，是谓用人之力，是谓配天古之极。
61. Those who are good at being warriors do not display force; those who are skilled in warfare do not get angry; those who are adept at defeating enemies do not engage in direct confrontation; those who are good at using people act humble towards them. This is called the virtue of non-contention, the use of others’ strength, and the ultimate state of ancient harmony with the heavens.

62.祸莫大于轻敌，轻敌几丧吾宝。故抗兵相若，哀者胜矣。
62. There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy, as it can lead to the loss of our treasures. Thus, when two armies face each other with equal strength, the compassionate one will emerge victorious.

63.民之从事，常于几成而败之。慎终如始，则无败事。
63. People often fail when they are close to success. If one remains cautious and attentive from beginning to end, there will be no failures.

64.古之善为道者，非以明民，将以愚之。民之难治，以其智多。故以智治国，国之贼；不以智治国，国之福。
64. Ancient masters of the Way did not aim to enlighten the people, but rather to guide them towards simplicity. The difficulty in governing people arises from their cunning. Therefore, using cunning to govern a nation will lead to its downfall; not using cunning to govern a nation will bring its prosperity.

65.江海之所以能为百谷王者，以其善下之，故能为百谷王。是以圣人欲上民，必以言下之；欲先民，必以身后之。是以圣人处上而民不重，处前而民不害。是以天下乐推而不厌。以其不争，故天下莫能与之争。
65. The reason why rivers and seas can become the rulers of all valleys is that they are good at being humble, and thus they can become the rulers of all valleys. Hence, a sage who wants to be above the people must speak humbly to them; if they want to lead the people, they must place themselves behind the people. That is why a sage, being in a high position, does not burden the people, and being in front, does not harm them. As a result, the world willingly supports them without growing tired. It is because they do not contend that no one in the world can contend with them.

66.民不畏威，则大威至。
66. When people no longer fear authority, the greatest power arises.

67.上德不德，是以有德；下德不失德，是以无德。上德无为而无以为；下德无为而有以为。上仁为之而无以为；上义为之而有以为。上礼为之而莫之应，则攘臂而扔之。故失道而后德，失德而后仁，失仁而后义，失义而后礼。
67. Those with superior virtue do not claim virtue, and thus possess true virtue; those with inferior virtue cling to virtue, and thus possess no virtue. Superior virtue acts without purpose; inferior virtue acts with purpose. Superior benevolence acts without purpose; superior righteousness acts with purpose. Superior propriety acts without response, and if no one responds, it is cast aside. Therefore, when the Way is lost, virtue arises; when virtue is lost, benevolence arises; when benevolence is lost, righteousness arises; when righteousness is lost, propriety arises.

68.祸莫大于不知足；咎莫大于欲得。故知足之足，常足矣。
68. There is no greater disaster than insatiable desires; no greater fault than constant craving. Thus, being content with contentment is the key to lasting satisfaction.

69.治大国，若烹小鲜。
69. Governing a large nation is like cooking small fish.

70.大邦者下流，天下之牝，天下之交也。牝常以静胜牡，以静为下。故大邦以下小邦，则取小邦；小邦以下大邦，则取大邦。故或下以取，或下而取。大邦不过欲兼畜人，小邦不过欲入事人。
70. A great nation is like a lower stream, the female of the world, the交汇 of the world. The female often conquers the male through stillness, as stillness is considered humble. Therefore, when a great nation humbles itself before a small nation, it wins the allegiance of the small nation; when a small nation humbles itself before a great nation, it wins the support of the great nation. Hence, some win through humility, while others win by being humble. A great nation aims to nurture all people, while a small nation aims to serve the people.

71.夫两者各得所欲，大者宜为下。
71. Both can achieve what they desire, but the greater should be considered lesser.

72.为无为，事无事，味无味。
72. Do nothing, engage in no affairs, taste no flavors.

73.图难于其易，为大于其细；天下难事，必作于易，天下大事，必作于细。是以圣人终不为大，故能成其大。
73. Start with ease to tackle difficulty, begin with the small to accomplish the great; all difficult matters in the world must start with ease, and all great matters must start with the small. Thus, the sage never strives for greatness, and that is why they can achieve it.

74.夫轻诺必寡信，多易必多难。是以圣人犹难之，故终无难矣。
74. Those who make hasty promises often have little trustworthiness, and those who find things easy often face more difficulties. Therefore, the sage remains cautious, and ultimately, they face no difficulties.

75.谷神不死，是谓玄牝。玄牝之门，是谓天地根。绵绵若存，用之不勤。
75. The spirit of the valley never dies; it is called the mysterious female. The gate of the mysterious female is the root of heaven and earth. It exists continuously yet elusively, and its use is inexhaustible.

76.天长地久。天地所以能长且久者，以其不自生，故能长生。是以圣人后其身而身先；外其身而身存。非以其无私邪？故能成其私。
76. Heaven and earth are eternal. The reason they can be eternal and long-lasting is that they do not seek to preserve themselves, and thus they can achieve longevity. The sage puts themselves last, yet they become the foremost; they detach themselves from the world, yet they remain a part of it. Isn’t it because they are selfless that they can achieve their own interests?

77.居善地，心善渊，与善仁，言善信，政善治，事善能，动善时。夫唯不争，故无尤。
77. Dwell in a good place, have a deep heart, be kind and compassionate, speak with sincerity, govern with wisdom, be capable in handling affairs, and act at the right time. Only by not competing can one be without blame.

78.是以圣人为而不恃，功成而不处，其不欲见贤。
78. The sage acts without relying on their actions, accomplishes tasks without claiming credit, and does not seek to be recognized as virtuous.

79.天下莫柔弱于水，而攻坚强者莫之能胜，以其无以易之。
79. Nothing in the world is softer than water, yet it can overcome the hard and strong, as nothing can replace it.

80.弱之胜强，柔之胜刚，天下莫不知，莫能行。
80. The weak can overcome the strong, the soft can overcome the hard; everyone in the world knows this, but few can truly practice it.

81.将欲歙之，必故张之；将欲弱之，必故强之；将欲废之，必故兴之；将欲取之，必故与之。是谓微明。
81. To close something, one must first open it; to weaken something, one must first strengthen it; to abandon something, one must first promote it; to take something, one must first give it. This is called the subtle wisdom.

82.柔弱胜刚强。鱼不可脱于渊，国之利器不可以示人。
82. Softness overcomes hardness. Fish cannot escape the depths, and the sharpest weapons of a nation should not be displayed to others.

83.不言之教，无为之益，天下希及之。
83. The teachings without words, the benefits of inaction; few in the world can reach such a state.

84.名与身孰亲？身与货孰多？得与亡孰病？
84. Which is more precious: fame or one’s own life? Which is more valuable: life or wealth? Which is more harmful: gaining something or losing it?

85.和大怨，必有馀怨；报怨以德，安可以为善？
85. To reconcile a great resentment, there will always be lingering resentment; to repay a grudge with virtue, how can this be considered good?
