      道德经英文版（守微第六十四）

      ~{  其安易持，其未兆易谋。其脆易泮，其微易散。为之于未有，治~}

      ~{之于未乱。~}

      ~{  合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于累土；千里之行，始于足~}

      ~{下。~}

      ~{  民之从事，常于几成而败之。慎终如始，则无败事。~}

      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 overrun 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 gentle desire no-desire,

      Value no-value,

      Learn no-learning,

      And return to the places people have forgotten;

      They would help all people to become natural,

      But then they would not be natural.
