治人事天莫若啬。夫唯啬，是谓早服。早服谓之重积德，重积德则无不克，无不克则莫知其极，莫知其极可以有国，有国之母可以长久。

📜 ᱛᱷᱚᱠ ᱧᱮᱞᱢᱟ (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
James Legge (1891)
For regulating the human (in our constitution) and rendering the (proper) service to the heavenly, there is nothing like moderation. It is only by this moderation that there is effected an early return (to man's normal state). He who possesses the mother of the state may continue long.
