老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 29. Ambition

作者：《Lao Tze》李耳

• Those who wish to change the world
  According with their desire
  Cannot succeed.
  
  The world is shaped by the Way;
  It cannot be shaped by the self.
  Trying to change it, you damage it;
  Trying to possess it, you lose it. So some will lead, while others follow.
  Some will be warm, others cold
  Some will be strong, others weak.
  Some will get where they are going
  While others fall by the side of the road.
  
  So the sage will be neither wasteful nor violent.
