Tao Te Ching
绝学，无忧。唯之与阿，相去几何？善之与恶，相去若何？人之所畏，不可不畏。荒兮其未央哉。众人熙熙，如享太牢，如春登台，我独怕兮其未兆，如婴儿之未孩；乘乘兮若无所归。众人皆有余，而我独若遗，我愚人之心也哉，沌沌兮。俗人昭昭，我独若昏；俗人察察，我独闷闷。忽兮若海。漂兮若无所止。众人皆有以，而我独顽似鄙。我独异于人，而贵食母。

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi. The text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated. The Tao Te Ching is fundamental to the Philosophical Taoism and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism and Neo-Confucianism.
