A
good runner
leaves no tracks;
a good speaker makes no slips;
a good planner doesn’t have to scheme.
The best lock has no bolt, and no
one can open it. The best knot
uses no rope, and no
one can untie
it.

doesn’t abandon anyone; always good
at conserving things, and doesn’t
waste anything. This is known
as “Following the
light.”

Keep yourself simple,
good, guileless, dignified, unpretentious,
devoted to justice, pious, kind, affectionate to others,
and resolute in carrying out your proper tasks. Strive to be and
remain the kind of person philosophy would have you be.
Revere the gods and keep men safe. Life is short.
There’s only one crop to be reaped from your
time on earth, and that is a reverential
disposition and socially
useful actions.
