是故甚愛必大費；多藏必厚亡。
Keep life and lose those other things; Keep them and lose your life: - which brings Sorrow and pain more near?
Thus we may see, Who cleaves to fame Rejects what is more great; Who loves large stores Gives up the richer state.
知足不辱，知止不殆，可以長久。
Who is content Needs fear no shame.
Who knows to stop Incurs no blame.
From danger free Long live shall he.
