      ~{  治人事天，莫若啬。~}

      ~{  夫为啬，是谓早服；早服谓之重积德；重积德则无不克；无不克~}

      ~{则莫知其极；莫知其极，可以有国；有国之母，可以长久；是谓深根~}

      59. Restraint

      Manage a great nation as you would cook a delicate fish.

      To govern men in accord with nature

      It is best to be restrained;

      Restraint makes agreement easy to attain,

      And easy agreement builds harmonious relationships;

      With sufficient harmony no resistance will arise;

      When no resistance arises, then you possess the heart of the nation,

      And when you possess the nation's heart, your influence will endure:

      Deeply rooted and firmly established.

      This is the method of far sight and long life.
