盛德
大成若缺，其用不弊。大盈若沖，其用不竮。大直若屈，大巧若拙，大辨若託。躁勝寒靜勝熱。清靜為天下正。
Who thinks his great achievements poor
Shall find his vigour long endure.
Of greatest fulness, deemed a void,
Exhaustion ne'er shall stem the tide.
Do thou what's straight still crooked deem;
Thy greatest art still stupid seem,
And eloquence a stammering scream.
Constant action overcomes cold; being still overcomes heat. Purity and stillness give the correct law to all under heaven.
