Chapter 34
第三十四章
All-pervading is the Great Tao! It may be found on the left hand and on the right.
大道泛兮，其可左右。
All things depend on it for their production, which it gives to them, not one refusing obedience to it.
萬物恃之而生而不辭，
When its work is accomplished, it does not claim the name of having done it.
功成不名有。
It clothes all things as with a garment, and makes no assumption of being their lord;--it may be named in the smallest things.
衣養(yǎng)萬物而不為主，常無欲，可名于小；
All things return (to their root and disappear), and do not know that it is it which presides over their doing so;--it may be named in the greatest things.
萬物歸焉而不為主，可名為大。
Hence the sage is able (in the same way) to accomplish his great achievements.
是以圣人之能成大也，
It is through his not making himself great that he can accomplish them.
以其不為大也，故能成大。
