Tao Te Ching Chapter 79

Translation by John H. McDonald

Difficulties remain, even after solving a problem.

How then can we consider that as good?

Therefore the Master

does what she knows is right,

and makes no demands of others.

A virtuous person will do the right thing,

and persons with no virtue will take advantage of others.

The Tao does not choose sides,

the good person receives from the Tao

because she is on its side.
