道德经英文版（任信第七十八）
~{ 天下莫柔弱于水，而攻坚强者莫之能胜，以其无以易之。~}
~{ 弱之胜强，柔之胜刚，天下莫不知，莫能行。~}
~{ 是以圣人云：「受国之垢，是谓社稷主；受国不祥，是为天下王~}
~{。」正言若反。~}
78. Yielding
Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water,
Yet nothing can better overcome the hard and strong,
For they can neither control nor destroy it.
The soft overcomes the hard,
The yielding overcomes the strong;
Every person knows this,
But few practice it.
Who attends to the people would regulate the land and grain;
Who attends to the state would regulate the whole world;
Truth is easily obscured by rhetoric.
