• LXVIII - L’art de ne pas lutter
  27 de fevereiro de 2018, por Cardoso de Castro

  Waley
  The best charioteers do not rush ahead; The best fighters do not make displays of wrath. The greatest conqueror wins without joining issue; The best user of men acts as though he were their inferior. This is called the power that comes of not contending, Is called the capacity to use men, The secret of being mated to heaven, to what was of old.
  Wieger
  A. Que celui qui commande, ne pense pas que c’est la tactique, la valeur, l’effort, qui donnent la victoire.
  B. C’est en se mettant (...)

• XLVIII - Celui qui pratique la Voie diminue chaque jour
  25 de fevereiro de 2018, por Cardoso de Castro

  Waley
  Learning consists in adding to one’s stock day by day; The practice of Tao consists in “subtracting day by day, Subtracting and yet again subtracting Till one has reached inactivity. But by this very inactivity Everything can be activated.” Those who of old won the adherence of all who live under heaven All did so not interfering. Had they interfered, They would never have won this adherence.

  A. Par l’étude, on multiplie chaque jour (dans sa mémoire les notions particulières (...)

• XX - Sans soucis
  21 de fevereiro de 2018, por Cardoso de Castro

  Waley
  Between wei and o What after all is the difference? Can it be compared to the difference between good and bad? The saying “what others avoid I too must avoid” How false and superficial it is? All men, indeed, are wreathed in smiles, As though feasting after the Great Sacrifice, As though going up to the Spring Carnival. I alone am inert, like a child that has not yet given sign; Like an infant that has not yet smiled. I droop and drift, as though I belonged nowhere. All men have enough (...)

• XXX - Se faire puissant, est donc contraire au Principe
  22 de fevereiro de 2018, por Cardoso de Castro

  Waley
  He who by Tao purposes to help a ruler of men Will oppose all conquest by force of arms; For such things are wont to rebound. Where armies are, thorn and brambles grow. The raising of a great host Is followed by a year of dearth. Therefore a good general effects his purpose and then stops; he does not take further advantage of his victory. Fulfils his purpose and does not glory in what he has done; Fulfils his purpose and does not boast of what he has done; Fulfils his purpose, but (...)

• XXXV - L’homme parfait présente l’image de la Voie
  23 de fevereiro de 2018, por Cardoso de Castro

  Waley
  He who holding the Great From goes about his work in the empire Can go about his, yet do no harm. All is peace, quietness and security. Sound of music, smell of good dishes Will make the passing stranger pause. How difference the words that Tao gives forth! So thin, so flavourless! If one looks for Tao, there is nothing solid to see; If one listens for it, there is nothing loud enough to hear. Yet if one uses it, it is inexhaustible.
  Wieger
  A. Parce qu’il ressemble au grand (...)

• XI - É do não sensível que vem a eficácia
  20 de fevereiro de 2018, por Cardoso de Castro

  Nossa tradução a partir de Matgioi mas eventualmente combinando outras versões.
  Tradução
  Trinta raios unidos formam uma montagem de roda; sozinhos, são inutilizáveis: é o vazio QUE OS UNE, que faz deles uma roda de que se pode servir. Uma propriedade que se toca e que se pega é inutilizável: é o ar que a preenche que dela faz um bem o qual se pode usar. Construir, mudar, consertar os materiais de uma casa, eis o que é inutilizável; é o vazio entre os materiais que faz uma casa de que se pode (...)

• XLIX - le Sage est sans émotion
  25 de fevereiro de 2018, por Cardoso de Castro

  Waley
  The Sage has no heart of his own; He uses the heart of the people as his heart. Of the good man I approve, But of the bad I also approve, And thus he gets goodness. The truthful man I believe, but the liar I also believe, And thus he gets truthfulness. The Sage, in the dealings with the world, seems like one dazed with fright; For the world’s sake be dulls his wits. The Hundred Families all the time strain their eyes and ears, The Sage all the time sees and hears no more than an (...)
