The Way is that toward which all things flow.
It is the treasure of the good man,
And that which protects the bad.

Beautiful words can be bought and sold;
Honored deeds can be presented to others as gifts;
Even with things that people regard as no good – will they be rejected?
Therefore, when the Son of Heaven is being enthroned or the Three Ministers installed,
Though you might salute them with disks of jade preceded by teams of four horses,
That's not so good as sitting still and offering this.
The reason why the ancients valued this – what was it?
Did they not say, "Those who seek, with this will attain, and those who commit offenses, with this will escape"?!
Therefore, it's the most valued thing in the world.
