Tao Te Ching (Marshall)

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

Nine


An over-filled cup is difficult to carry.
An over-sharp point is easily broken.

Fill your house with gold and jade,
and it cannot be protected.
Become puffed with pride,
and disaster will follow.

Do only what needs doing, then forget it.
This is the way of heaven.
