📜 Tiqil ri rusilmay (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
James Legge (1891)
Abstaining from speech marks him who is obeying the spontaneity of his nature. A violent wind does not last for a whole morning; a sudden rain does not last for the whole day. If Heaven and Earth cannot make such (spasmodic) actings last long, how much less can man!
