Taste that which is without-flavor.
Greatness is insignificant, too much is less.
Repay animosity with De.
Plan for the difficult while it is easy.
Act on the great while it is tiny.
In the world, difficult duties certainly start while easy.
In the world, great duties certainly start while tiny.
Thus the sage in the end does not act great,
Therefore he can achieve his greatness.
Men who make promises lightly, certainly few will trust.
