十章

　　载营魄抱一，能无离乎？专气致柔，能如婴儿乎？修除玄览，能无疵乎？爱
民治国，能无智乎？天门开阖，能为雌乎？明白四达，能无知乎？生之、畜之，
生而不有，长而不宰。是为玄德。

Chapter 10. Harmony

Embracing the Way, you become embraced;

Breathing gently, you become newborn;

Clearing your mind, you become clear;

Nurturing your children, you become impartial;

Opening your heart, you become accepted;

Accepting the world, you embrace the Way.

Bearing and nurturing,

Creating but not owning,

Giving without demanding,

This is harmony.
