海翁私塾經典課堂之《道德經》第七十八章
老子
天下莫柔弱于水，
而攻堅強者莫之能勝。
其無以易之。
弱之勝強，柔之勝剛，
天下莫不知，莫能行。
是以聖人云：受國之垢，是謂社稷主;
受國不祥，是為天下王。
正言若反。

Chapter 78
By Lao Tzu
Nothing in the world is more supple
than water,
Yet nothing is more powerful
than water
in attacking the hard and strong.
Because nothing can take its place.
The weak is more powerful
than the strong,
The supple is more rigid
than the hard.
Yet no one so far
can put the knowledge into practice.
That is why the sage says,
Only he who can bear the humiliation
on behalf of the state
Can be called the great priest of the state;
Only he who dare shoulder the responsibility for the calamity of the state
Can be called the king of the state.
Factual words seem ironic.

老子
天之道，其猶張弓與？
高者抑之，下者舉之，
有餘者損之，不足者補之。
天之道，損有餘而補不足；
人之道則不然，損不足而奉有餘。
孰能有餘以奉天下？
唯有道者。
是以聖人為而不恃，功成而不處，
其不欲見賢。

Chapter 77
By Lao Tzu
Does not the Tao of heaven
resemble the bending of a bow?
Pressing down the high,
Lifting up the low,
Reducing the excessive,
Compensating the deficient?
So the Tao of heaven means to compensate the deficient
by reducing the excess.
The Tao of man is different :
It gives to one
who already has more than enough
by taking from one who is in want.
Who can offer what he has
in excess to the people?
Only the man of Tao.
Thus the sage
Benefits all things without claiming
to be their benefactor;
Succeeds without claiming credit;
Because he does not want
to show off his wisdom.

老子
人之生也柔弱，其死也堅強。
萬物草木之生也柔脆，其死也枯槁。
故堅強者，死之徒；
柔弱者，生之徒。
是以強兵則不勝，木強則折。
強大處下，柔弱處上。

Chapter76
By Lao Tzu
While alive,a man's body is supple;
When dead, it becomes hard.
While alive, the grass and trees are supple,
When dead, they become dry and stiff.
Thus the hard and strong is of the dying sort;
The supple and weak is of the living sort.
That is why the army have grown strong ,
will be wiped out,
And the tree when grown up
will be cut down.
Thus the strong and weak is inferior
To the weak and supple.
