2 道德經:
天下皆知美之為美,斯惡已。皆知善之為善,斯不善已。故有無相生,難易相成,長短相較,高下相傾,音聲相和,前後相隨。是以聖人處無為之事,行不言之教;萬物作焉而不辭,生而不有。為而不恃,功成而弗居。夫唯弗居,是以不去。
Dao De Jing:
(The nourishment of the person)
All in the world know the beauty of the beautiful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what ugliness is; they all know the skill of the skilful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what the want of skill is. So it is that existence and non-existence give birth the one to (the idea of) the other; that difficulty and ease produce the one (the idea of) the other; that length and shortness fashion out the one the figure of the other; that (the ideas of) height and lowness arise from the contrast of the one with the other; that the musical notes and tones become harmonious through the relation of one with another; and that being before and behind give the idea of one following another. Therefore the sage manages affairs without doing anything, and conveys his instructions without the use of speech. All things spring up, and there is not one which declines to show itself; they grow, and there is no claim made for their ownership; they go through their processes, and there is no expectation (of a reward for the results). The work is accomplished, and there is no resting in it (as an achievement).
The work is done, but how no one can see;
'Tis this that makes the power not cease to be.

天下皆知美之為美,自揚己美,使彰顯也。斯惡已;有危亡也。皆知善之為善,有功名也。斯不善已。人所爭也。故有無相生,見有而為無也。難易相成,見難而為易也。長短相較,見短而為長也。高下相傾,見高而為下也。音聲相和,上唱下必和也。前後相隨。上行下必隨也。是以聖人處無為之事,以道治也。行不言之教,以身師導之也。萬物作焉各自動也。而不辭,不辭謝而逆止。生而不有,元氣生萬物而不有為而不恃,道所施為,不恃望其報也。功成而弗居。功成事就,退避不居其位。夫唯弗居,夫惟功成不居其位。是以不去。福德常在,不去其身也。此言不行不可隨,不言不可知疾。上六句有高下長短,君開一源,下生百端,百端之變,無不動亂。

天下皆知美之為美也,惡已;皆知善,此斯不善已。有亡之相生也,難易之相成也,長短之相形也,高下之相呈也,音聲之相和也,先後之相隨也。是以聖人居亡為之事,行不言之教。萬物作而弗治也,為而弗志也,成而弗居。夫唯弗居也,是以弗去也。

聖人處無為之事,以道治也。行不言之教,以身帥道之也。萬物作焉。各自動作。而不辭,不辭謝而逆止之也。生而不有,元氣生萬物而不有。為而不恃。道所施為,不恃望其報也。

37 敘皇王上:
《老子》曰:聖人處無為之事,行不言之教,萬物作而不辭,生而不有,為而不恃,功成而不居。夫惟不居,是以不去。
又曰:不尚賢,使民不爭;不貴難得之貨,使民不為盜;不見可欲,使心不亂。是以聖人之治,虛其心,實其腹,弱其志,強其骨,常使民無知無欲。使夫知者不敢為也。無為,則無不治也。
又曰:道大、天大、地大,王亦大。域中有四大,而王居其一。
又曰:聖人無常心,以百姓心為心:善者,吾善之;不善者,吾亦善之,得善矣!信者,吾信之;不信者,吾亦信之,得信矣!聖人在,天下歙然。為天下渾其心,百姓皆注其耳目,聖人皆孩之。
又曰:聖人之言云:「我無為,而民自化;我無事,而民自富;我好靜,而民自正;我無欲,而民自樸。」
又曰:聖人執左契而不責於人,故有德司契,無德司撤。聖人之心,與百姓心猶左右契耳。契來則和,故上下相親,怨用不作,后世不能,執左契以應物,而守常轍以軌民,用此來和,必有餘怨矣。
又曰:江海所以能為百谷王者,以其善下之也。是以聖人欲上人也,必以其言下之;欲先人也,必以其身後之。故處上弗害,是以天下樂推而不厭也。
