“名與身孰親？
身與貨孰多？
得與亡孰病？
是故甚愛必大費，
多藏必厚亡。
知足不辱，
知止不殆，可以長久。”
–道德经, 第四十四章
“Your fame or your own body, which matters more?
Your own body or wealth, which is more important?
Your gain or your loss, which is more of a concern?
Therefore, the more one attaches to things, the greater loss one suffers.
The more one stores, the greater misfortune one bears.
Being satisfied, one is not disgraced.
The one who knows when to stop is spared from danger.
Therefore, that person will forever endure.”
—Tao Te Ching, Book 44, as translated by Eiichi Shimomissé
Oh man . . .I do like this.
