The skilful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels or footsteps; the skilful speaker says nothing that can be found fault with or blamed; the skilful reckoner uses no tallies; the skilful closer needs no bolts or bars, while to open what he has shut will be impossible; the skilful binder uses no strings or knots, while to unloose what he has bound will be impossible.

Abagendanyi beza ntangangato zigaragara, amagambo meza ntamajwi yangannyi yigaragara, ubuhinzi bw'izigabo ntibugaragira inyandiko, abatsinze ntibashobora gufungurwa, abanze ntibashobora gusakazwa. Kuko abantu babi ntibashobora kugaruka inyuma y'abantu nziza. Nuko Umukiza yari aganzutse gutabara abantu, kandi ntashikira umuntu uwishwe; yaganzutse gutabara ibintu, kandi ntashikira ikintu cyangaitwe. Abo ni abantu bazi rwanda. Abantu beza ni abarevuzi b'abantu batazima; abantu batazima ni inyungu z'abantu beza. Ntawushishikarira umwarivuzi, ntawushishikarira inyungu ziwe, nibyo bikorwa vyinshi bijujumye; ari na wo musengwe w'ibihu.
