译文:国家已经残缺不全,总是需要去修补,为了国家牺牲自己怎敢吝惜生命。
The wise man knows how to possess, not only how to get.
君子这样来造船车,所以属下都效法他,因此他的人民就会饥寒交迫,不得不做奸邪的事。奸邪的事情一多,刑罚就重,刑罚一重,国家就混乱。国君若真的希望天下太平而不希望天下大乱的话,如果要做船车,就不能不节俭。
Believe in yourself and all that you are.
When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities.
