《道德经》第五章 中英对照

Heaven and earth are ruthless,

they treat everything as straw or dog.

The sage is ruthless,

he treats everyone as straw or dog.

Are not heaven and earth

like a pair of bellows?

Empty, it won't be exhausted;

Forced, more air will come out.

If more is said than done,

it would be better to take the mean.

天地不仁,以万物为刍狗;

圣人不仁,以百姓为刍狗。

天地之间,其犹橐(tuó)龠(yuè) 乎!

虚而不屈,动而愈出。

多言数穷,不如守中。
