Heaven's Tao

Is a stretched bow,

Pulling down the top,

Pulling up the bottom.

If it's too much, cut.

If it's not enough,

Add on to it:

Heaven's

Tao.

...

The Human route

Is not like this,

Depriving the poor,

Offering to the rich.

...

Who has a surplus

And still offers it to the world?

Only those with Tao.

...

Therefore The Sage

Acts and expects nothing,

Accomplishes and does not linger,

Has no desire to seem worthy.
