Tao Te Ching (Marshall)

A Translation of Lao Tsu's Tao Te Ching from the "The Perennial Way" by Bart Marshall

Eighty-One


Truth is not eloquent.
Eloquence is not truth.
Wise men do not try to persuade.
Whoever tries to persuade is not wise.

One who knows, claims unknowing.
One who claims knowledge, does not know.

The sage does not acquire.
He bestows what he has on others,
and always has more.
The more he gives, the greater his abundance.

The way of heaven is to give without harm.
The way of the sage is to serve without striving.
