Abantu bathwala imisebenzi, idla ngokuhluleka cishe lelo lonke, kepha uma uqhubeka unolaka njengokhuqala, ngeke uphephe. Ngakho-ke umuntu ongcweti ufisa okungafunwa, akazihloniphi izinto ezinemandla; ufunda okungafundwanga, abuyele ezingeni labantu. Ukuze asize konke okhona ukuhamba kwalo ngokwemvelo, engazami ukusebenzela.

Wang Bi (226–249 CE)
当以慎终除微，慎微除乱。为之于未有，治之于未乱。合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于累土；千里之行，始于足下。
James Legge (1891)
That which is at rest is easily kept hold of; before a thing has given indications of its presence, it is easy to take measures against it. The tree which fills the arms grew from the tiniest sprout; the tower of nine storeys rose from a (small) heap of earth; the journey of a thousand li commenced with a single step.
