44	道德經:	名與身孰親？ 身與貨孰多？ 得與亡孰病？ 是故甚愛必大費；多藏必厚亡。 知足不辱，知止不殆，可以長久。 知足常樂，出處：《道德經》第四十四章，「名與身孰親？身與貨孰多？得與亡孰病？甚愛必大費，多藏必厚亡。故知足不辱，知止不殆，可以長久。」第四十六章，「天下有道，卻走馬以糞；天下無道，戎馬生於郊。罪莫大於可欲，咎莫大於欲得，禍莫大於不知足。故知足之足，恆足矣。」
	Dao De Jing:	(Cautions) Or fame or life, Which do you hold dearer? Or life or wealth, To which would you adhere? Keep life and lose those other things; Keep them and lose your life: - which brings Sorrow and pain nearer? Thus we may see, Who cleaves to fame Rejects what is greater; Who loves large stores Gives up the richer state. Who is content Needs fear no shame. Who knows to stop Incurs no blame. From danger free Long live shall he.

44

Fame or self: which is the dearest?

Self or wealth: which has the most value?

Gain or loss: which is worse?

Attachment to things results in wasteful expense.

The more that is hoarded, the heavier the loss.

Know contentment and thus never be disappointed;

Know when to stop and thus avoid all danger.

This is the way to last forever.

「名與身孰親，身與貨孰多，得與亡孰病，是故甚愛必大費，多藏必厚亡，知足不辱，知止不殆，可以長久。」
