Chapter 81
第八十一章
Sincere words are not fine; fine words are not sincere.
信言不美,美言不信。
Those who are skilled (in the Tao) do not dispute (about it); the disputatious are not skilled in it.
善者不辩,辩者不善。
Those who know (the Tao) are not extensively learned; the extensively learned do not know it.
知者不博,博者不知。
![道德经 道德经](http://pic.kekenet.com/2018/1119/74531542628126.jpg)
The sage does not accumulate (for himself).
圣人不积,
The more that he expends for others, the more does he possess of his own; the more that he gives to others, the more does he have himself.
既以为人己愈有,既以与人己愈多。
With all the sharpness of the Way of Heaven, it injures not;
天之道,利而不害。
with all the doing in the way of the sage he does not strive.
人之道,为而不争。
