"Under Heaven, the weakest things overcome the strongest.
Non-Being requires no Space.
I know this; that non-action has advantages which it teaches without words.
Seek to attain the benefits of non-action under Heaven."
- Translated byKarl Kromal, 2002, Chapter 43
"The soft overcomes the hard in the world as a gentle rider controls a galloping horse.
That without substance can penetrate where there is no space.
By these I know the benefit of nonaction.
Teaching without words, working without actions-nothing in the world can compare with them."
- Translated by Brian Browne Walker, 1996, Chapter 43
"The world's softest can over-run the world's hardest.
It comes from the unknown (non-existence) and it enters no space.
From this we know how advantageous is non-interference!
Thus, education by non-preaching and the policy of non-interference
have merits with which nothing under heaven can compare."
- Translated by Tang Zi-Chang, Chapter 43
"That which is softest in the world overrides that which is hardest in the world.
Only that which has no existence can enter that which has no crevice.
Therefore, I know the benefit of non-action.
Teaching without words
And benefit without action;
Few in the world attain it."
- Translated by Yi Wu, Chapter 43
"Seeing how things are, what is easy will overpass the heavy,
That has not come yet will replace that it is now,
Non-action is thus superior to the action.
Very few in the world can instruct without words,
This is the way of the Wise Person."
- Translated by Sarbatoare, Chapter 43
"The soft things of the world can overcome the hard ones.
Those that have no substance can penetrate the solid.
Therefore I know non-action wins success.
Teaching without words,
Succeeding without action -
These are understood by the very few."
- Translated by Agnieszka Solska, 2005, Chapter 43
"The softest things in all the world can overcome the hardest things in all the world.
Only Nothingness can penetrate spacelessness.
That is why I understand the benefit of not acting.
The teaching that is wordless, the benefit of not acting -
seldom in the world are these things understood."
- Translated byTim Chilcott, 2005, Chapter 43

"The softest of stuff in the world
Penetrates quickly the hardest;
Insubstantial, it enters
Where no room is.
By this I know the benefit
Of something done by quiet being;
In all the world but few can know
Accomplishment apart from work,
Instruction when no words are used."
- Translated byRaymond B. Blakney, 1955, Chapter 43
"The most flexible wins out over the stiffest.
The shapeless can be omnipresent.
I know it is beneficial not use brute force.
The best in the world teach without preaching, and act without using force."
- Translated byThomas Z. Zhang, Chapter 43
"The most yielding of all things
overcomes the hardest of all things.
That which has no substance
enters where there is no crevice.
Hence, I know the value of action without striving.
Few things under heaven bring more benefit than
the lessons learned from silence and
the actions taken without striving."
- Translated by Tolbert McCarroll, 1982, Chapter 43
"Yielding Maintains a Balance
Be gentle and tender with one another
without being passive.
Passivity leads to resentment
while gentleness gives birth to understanding.
Yield to each other
without surrendering.
Surrendering means the loss of self hood
while yielding maintains the balance
of self and other.
Martial artists know this truth.
A soft flexible body survives
the hardest of attacks
with balance and poise.
A rigid body is easily broken.
Look to your gentleness,
practice your flexibility.
At the same time maintain
your balance and your self hood."
- Translated by William Martin, 1999, Chapter 43

This easy example,

By Livia Kohn
"Water, ever fluid,
erodes the most resistant rock.
While what is insubstantial
penetrates the densest block.
Without ado,
non-action demonstrates what it can do.
Wisdom without words,
deeds without doing
are realized by very few."
- Translated byDouglas Allchin, 2002, Chapter 43
"The softest
of all things
Wears down
the hardest of all things.
Only No thing
can enter into
no-space.
I know the
advantages of
doing everything at
its own speed.
Few things
under heaven
teach as much as the
lessons of Silence,
Or are as
helpful as
the fruits of
proper timing."
- Translated by J. L. Trottier, 1994, Chapter 43
"The softest substance of the world
Goes through the hardest.
That-which-is-without-form penetrates that-which-has-no-crevice;
Through this I know the benefit of taking no action.
The teaching without words
And the benefit of taking no action
Are without compare in the universe."
- Translated by Lin Yutang, 1955, Chapter 43

"The softest thing in the world can overcome the hardest.
The shapeless can penetrate the seamless.
Thus I know the value of not acting.
Few understand the wordless teaching of non-action."
- Translated byNed Ludd, Chapter 43
"Universal Application
Pien Yung
The softest things in the world
Can match and overcome the hardest.
Non-being penetrates even the crackless.
Thus the value of non-interference is clear to me.
The teaching without words,
And the virtue of non-interference,
Can hardly be matched in the world."
- Translated by Henry Wei, 1982, Chapter 43
"The world�s weakest drives the world�s strongest.
The indiscernible penetrates where there are no crevices.
From this I perceive the advantage of non-action.
Few indeed in the world realize the instruction of the silence, or the benefits of inaction."

"In the world when we arrive at gentleness we press forward to overcome all hardness.
To possess Inner Life we enter it by our own private doorway.
We do this in order to know in overflowing fullness the possession of activity of Inner Life.
Overflowing fullness of activity of Inner Life
With power to impart it to others without words -
Few men in the world attain to this."
- Translated by Isabella Mears, 1916, Chapter 43
"The softest in the world surpasses the hardest in the world.
Only Nothing can enter into no-space.
Hence, I know the advantages of non-doing.
The teaching of no-word, the beneficial of non-doing.
Very few in the world know."
- Translated by Tien Cong Tran, Chapter 43
"The most yielding thing in the world
Masters the hardest thing in the world.
Its nothingness can penetrate even the impenetrable.
That is how I know the value of non-action.
But teaching without the use of words;
And action that is non-action -
How few in the world achieve this!"
- Translated by Herman Ould, 1946, Chapter 43

"The softest thing, like water, in the world, will gallop over,
And overcome the hardest, as we know,
And what has non-existence will enter everywhere
Though there be no crevices through which to go.
By this I know the benefit of non-assertiveness,
The profit when from acting we refrain,
Silent teaching! passive doing! alas, there are but few
Under heaven this advantage to obtain!"
- Translated by Isaac Winter Heysinger, 1903, Chapter 43
"The softest thing in the world dashes against and overcomes the hardest.
That which has no substantial existence enters where there is no crevice.
I know hereby what advantage belongs to doing nothing with a purpose.
There are few in the world who attain to the teaching without words,
and the advantage arising from non-action."
- Translated by James Legge, 1891, Chapter 43
"Das Allerweichste auf Erden �berholt das Allerh�rteste auf Erden.
Das Nichtseiende dringt auch noch ein in das, was keinen Zwischenraum hat.
Daran erkennt man den Wert des Nicht-Handelns.
Die Belehrung ohne Worte, den Wert des Nicht-Handelns erreichen nur wenige auf Erden."
- Translated by Richard Wilhelm, 1911, Chapter 43
"Von der Wirksamkeit des Unscheinbaren
Das Allerweichste �berwindet das H�rteste auf Erden.
Das Leere durchdringt selbst das Dichteste.
Darin offenbart sich die hohe Wirksamkeit des Nichtwirkens.
Freilich:
Wenige in der Welt wissen um das Geheimnis
schweigender Belehrung und
nichtwirkenwollenden Wirkens."
- Translated by Rudolf Backofen, 1949, Chapter 43
"The softest thing under heaven gallops triumphantly over The hardest thing under heaven. Nonbeing penetrates nonspace. Hence, I know the advantages of nonaction. The doctrine without words, The advantage of nonaction - few under heaven can realize these!" - Translated by Victor H. Mair, 1990, Chapter 43
"The most yielding thing in the world will overcome the most rigid
The most empty thing in the world will overcome the most full
From this comes a lesson
Stillness benefits more than action
Silence benefits more than words
Rare indeed are those who are still
Rare indeed are those who are silent
And so I say,
Rare indeed are those who obtain the bounty of this world"
