老子《道德經》 第一~四十章
老子道經
第一章
道可道,非常道。名可名,非常名。無,名天地之始﹔有,名萬物之母。
故常無,欲以觀其妙;常有,欲以觀其徼。此兩者,同出而異名,同謂之
玄。玄之又玄,眾妙之門。
第二章
天下皆知美之為美,斯惡矣﹔皆知善之為善,斯不善矣。故有無相生,難
易相成,長短相形,高下相傾,音聲相和,前後相隨。是以聖人處「無為
」之事,行「不言」之教。萬物作焉而不辭,生而不有,為而不恃,功成
而弗居。夫唯弗居,是以不去。
第三章
不尚賢,使民不爭﹔不貴難得之貨,使民不為盜﹔不見可欲,使民心不亂
。是以「聖人」之治,虛其心,實其腹,弱其志,強其骨。常使民無知無
欲。使夫智者不敢為也。為「無為」,則無不治。
