Chapter 67

Three Tings We Latch Onto

天下皆谓我道大,似不肖。夫唯大,故似不肖。若肖,久矣其细也夫!
我有三宝,持而保之:一曰慈,二曰俭,三曰不敢为天下先。
慈故能勇,俭故能广,不敢为天下先故能成器长。
今舍慈且勇,舍俭且广,舍后且先,死矣!夫慈,以战则胜,以守则固。天将救之,以慈卫之。
All oonu tun roun an se my Way a big ting, a so it nuh look like notn else. But it a 'cos it big dat it cyan look like notn else. If it did look like somethn else, it woulda been small long time.

I have three tings weh me hold onto an mek sure se dem stay safe: di fus one is love, di second is no waste nuttn, an di tird one is neva try fi step forward fi be firs'.
