1. If the people do not fear the dread- ful, the great dreadful will come, surely. 2. Let them not deem their lives nar- row. Let them not deem their lot weari- some. When it is not deemed weari- some, then it will not be wearisome. 3. Therefore the holy man knows him- self but does not display himself. He Digitized by VjOOQIC Canon of Reason and Virtue 125 holds himself dear but does not honor himself. Thus he discards the latter and chooses the former. 73. DARING TO ACT. 1. Courage, if carrie...d to daring, leads to death; courage, if not carried to dar- ing, leads to life. Either of these two things is sometimes beneficial, some- times harmful. 2. "Why 't is by heaven rejected. Who has the reason detected?" Therefore the holy man also regards it as difficult. 3. The Heavenly Reason strives not, but it is sure to conquer. It speaks not, but it is sure to respond. It summons not, but it comes of itself. It works pa- tiently, but is sure in its designs. 4. Heaven's net is vast, so vast. It is wide-meshed, but it loses nothing.
