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。
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。
