《庄子·杂篇·列御寇》
因循顺应、俯仰随人、困厄怯弱而又态度谦下，三种情况都能遇事通达。自恃聪明炫耀于外，勇猛躁动必多怨恨，倡导仁义必多责难。通晓生命实情的人心胸开阔，通晓真知的人内心虚空豁达，通晓长寿之道的人随顺自然，通晓寿命短暂之理的人也能随遇而安。
敢，八者俱过人也，因以是穷；缘循、偃仰、困畏，不若人三者俱通达；知慧外通，勇动多怨，仁义多责，六者所以相刑也。达生之性者傀，达于知者肖，达大命者随，达小命者遭。
Follow the trend, look up and down, and be humble in the face of hardships and weaknesses, and all three situations can be achieved. Being self-righteous and showing off can lead to resentment, being brave and impulsive will lead to resentment, and advocating benevolence and righteousness will lead to blame. Those who understand the truth of life have a broad mind, those who understand the truth have a void in their hearts, those who understand the way of longevity follow nature, and those who understand the reason for the short life can also follow the trend.
