35 道德经:
执大象,天下往。往而不害,安平大。乐与饵,过客止。道之出口,淡乎其无味,视之不足见,听之不足闻,用之不足既。
Dao De Jing:
(The attribute of benevolence)
To him who holds in his hands the Great Image (of the invisible Dao), the whole world repairs. Men resort to him, and receive no hurt, but (find) rest, peace, and the feeling of ease.
Music and dainties will make the passing guest stop (for a time). But though the Dao as it comes from the mouth, seems insipid and has no flavour, though it seems not worth being looked at or listened to, the use of it is inexhaustible.
