Daode Jing II

天下皆知美之为美，斯恶已；天下皆知善之为善，斯不善已。
The whole world recognizes the beautiful as the beautiful, yet this is only the ugly; the whole world recognizes the good as the good, yet this is only the bad.

故有无相生；难易相成；长短相形；高下相倾；音声相和；前后相随。
Thus Something and Nothing produce each other;
The difficult and the easy complement each other;
The long and the short off-set each other;
The high and the low incline towards each other;
Not and sound harmonize with each other;
Before and after follow each other.

是以圣人处无为之事，行不言之教。
Therefore the sage keeps to the deed that consists in taking no action and practises the teaching that uses no words.

万物作焉儿不辞；生而不有；为而不恃；功成而弗居。
The myriad creatures rise from it yet it claims no authority;
It gives them life yet claims no possession;
It benefits them yet exacts no gratitude;
It accomplishes its task yet lays claim to no merit.

夫唯弗居，是以不去。
It is because it lays claim to no merit
that its merit never deserts it.
