夫唯大,故似不肖。
But it is just because it is great, that it seems like folly.
若肖,久矣其细也夫﹗
As for things that do not seem like folly --- well, there can be no question about their smallness!
我有三宝,持而保之.
Here are my three treasures. #2 Guard and keep them!
一曰慈,二曰俭,三曰不敢为天下先。
The first is pity; the second, frugality; the third, refusal to be foremost of all things under heaven.
慈故能勇;俭故能广;不敢为天下先,故能成器长。
For only he that pities is truly able to be brave; only he that is frugal is able to be profuse. #2 Only he that refuse to be foremost of all things is truly able to become chief of all Ministers.
