《道德经》英译（第四十七章）

不出户，知天下；

不窥牖，见天道。

其出弥远，

其知弥少。

是以圣人不行而知。

不见而明，不为而成。

Chapter 47

Without leaving his door

He knows everything under heaven.

Without looking out of his window

He knows all the ways of heaven.

For the further one travels

The less one knows.

Therefore the Sage arrives without going,

Sees all without looking,

Does nothing, yet achieves everything.
