Et si tu n'existais pas,
Dis-moi comment j'existerais.
Je pourrais faire semblant d'être moi,
Mais je ne serais pas vrai.

che ricordarsi del tempo felice

老子 「道德经」

老 子: 「道 德 经」 : 第 八 十 一 章

信 言 不 美 ， 美 言 不 信 。　
善 者 不 辩 ， 辩 者 不 善 。
知 者 不 博 ， 博 者 不 知 。
圣 人 不 积 ， 既 以 为 人 己 愈 有 ，
既 以 与 人 己 愈 多 。　
天 之 道 ， 利 而 不 害 ?
圣 人 之 道 ， 为 而 不 争 。

Daode Jing (Laozi)--Chapter 81
Sincere words are not fine; fine words are not sincere. Those who are skilled (in the Tao) do not dispute (about it); the disputatious are not skilled in it. Those who know (the Tao) are not extensively learned; the extensively learned do not know it.
The sage does not accumulate (for himself). The more that he expends for others, the more does he possess of his own; the more that he gives to others, the more does he have himself.
With all the sharpness of the Way of Heaven, it injures not; with all the doing in the way of the sage he does not strive.

我的天！ 哈哈！
