"How all-pervading is the great Reason!
It can be on the left and it can be on the right.
The ten thousand things depend upon it for their life, and it refuses them not.
When its merit is accomplished it assumes not the name.
Lovingly it nourishes the ten thousand things and plays not the lord.
Ever desireless it can be classed with the small.
The ten thousand things return home to it.
It plays not the lord.
It can be classed with the great.
The holy man unto death does not make himself great and can thus accomplish his greatness."
-  Translated by Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki and Paul Carus, 1913, Chapter 34

"The Great Tao is all-pervasive; it may be seen on the right and on the left.
All things depend upon it, and are produced; it denies itself to none.
It achieves its works of merit, but has no name or reputation among men.
With tenderness it nourishes all things, yet claims no lordship over them.
It is ever passionless, and may be named among the smallest things.
All things submit to it, yet it claims no lordship over them; it may be called great.
Thus the Sage to the end of his life never exalts himself; and thus he is able to achieve great things."
- Translated by Henry H. Balfour, Chapter 34

"Great Tao drifts─ it can go right or go left.
The thousands of things depend on it for life, it rejects nothing.
It achieves successes, but does not hold tight to the fame.
It clothes and feeds the thousands of things but does not act the ruler.
Always:
Desiring nothing, it can be called 'of no account.'
The thousands of things turn back to it but it does not act the ruler─ it can be called 'Great.'
Because in the end
it does not insist on its own greatness,
yes, it is able to achieve its full greatness."
- Translated by Michael LaFargue, 1994, Chapter 34

"The Tao flows all around like a great river,
To the left and to the right it surrounds all.
It gives rise to all, and nourishes and clothes them, but lays no intention on control.
It is merged in all things, and hidden in their inner being;
Thus it may be termed small.
All things return to it at the end of life;
Thus it is called great.
The sage models himself after the Tao,
Unburdened, not striving, content with what is."
- Translated by Rivenrock, Chapter 34

"The great Tao is everywhere, on all sides.
Everything derives from it;
nothing is rejected by it.
Through Tao everything exists
yet it does not take possession.
It provides for everything
yet it does not lay claim.
Without motive it seems small.
Being the source of everything it is great.
Because it never claims greatness,
its greatness shines brightly."
- Translated by C. Ganson, Chapter 34

大道汎兮其可左右.
萬物恃之而生而不辭.
功成不名有.
衣養萬物而不為主.
常無欲, 可名於小.
萬物歸焉而不為主, 可名為大.
以其終不自為大.
故能成其大.

"The Tao is like an overflowing river.
It rises to the left and to the right.
The ten thousand things arise from it, but do not depart from it.
The Tao acts, but cannot be defined.
It clothes and nourishes all beings, but does not rule over them.
It endures without desire and without seeming "big."
The ten thousand things find their home in it, and yet it does not exercise lordship over them.
The Tao is very great, but it does not show its greatness.
Therefore, it is truly great."

Daoism and Chinese Culture By Livia Kohn

"Tao contains the whole Universe.
All things come out of Tao.
It doesn't reject anybody or anything.
He who is on the Tao Way is a creator,
But doesn't take possession of the creation.
He is generous, but doesn't look for gratitude of people.
Without own desires, he isn't easily noticed.
He does good things without taking merits.
Not displaying his greatness, the Wise Person is great indeed."
- Translated by Octavian Sarbatorare, 2002, Chapter 34

"The Tao floats and drifts whichever way it likes
It does what it wants, without proclaiming itself
All things depend on it, but it is not their master
It has no desire, and thus is small
Yet since all things depend on it, and it does not rule them
It is magnificent

So the Taoist attempts great works with no thought of being great
And thus accomplishes his ends"
- Translated by Ted Wrigley, Chapter 34

"Great Tao is like a boat that drifts;
It can go this way; it can go that.
The ten thousand creatures owe their existence to it and it does not disown them;
Yet having produced them, it does not take possession of them.
Makes no claim to be master over them,
(And asks for nothing from them.)
Therefore it may be called the Lowly.
The ten thousand creatures obey it,
Though they know not that they have a master;
Therefore it is called the Great.
So too the Sage just because he never at any time makes a show of greatness
In fact achieves greatness."

Taoism: An Essential Guide By Eva Wong

"The Great Tao (the Laws of the Universe) is universal like a flood.
How can it be turned to the right or to the left?
All creatures depend on it, and it denies nothing to anyone.
It does its work,
But it makes no claims for itself.
It clothes and feeds all,
But it does not rule them
Thus, it may be called "the Little."
All things return to it as to their home,
But it does not rule them
It may be called "the Great."
It is just because it does not wish to be great
That its greatness is fully realized.
The Complete Thinker would not control the world;
They are in harmony with the world."
- Translated by John Louis Albert Trottier, 1994, Chapter 34

"The great Dao flows everywhere.
It goes to the right and it goes to the left.
Myriad beings depend on it to survive,
But it does not interfere with them.
It facilitates but does not gloat.
It nourishes everything, but does not exert control.
Dao has no goal and appears to be insignificant.
Nevertheless, everything relies on it for sustenance, but it exerts no control.
Such action seems to be magnificently great.
Dao has no intention to be great, yet it attains greatness."
- Translated by Han Hiong Tan, Chapter 34

"The great Tao pervades everywhere, both on the left and on the right.
By it all things came in to being, and it does not reject them.
Merits accomplished, it does not possess them.
It loves and nourishes all things but does not dominate over them.
It is always non-existent; therefore it can be named as small.
All things return home to it, and it does not claim mastery over them;
therefore it can be named as great.
Because it never assumes greatness, therefore it can accomplish greatness."
- Translated by Ch'u Ta-Kao, 1904, Chapter 34

"The Tao drifts it can go left or right
everything lives by its grace but it doesn't speak when its work succeeds it makes no claim it has no desires
shall we call it small
everything turns to it but it wields no control shall we call it great
therefore the sage never acts great thus he can do great things"
- Translated by Red Pine, Chapter 34

"Natural Perfection
Ren Ch'eng

The Great Tao is all pervasive;
It could be on your right or on your left.
The ten thousand things depend on it for growth,
And it never lets them down.
It achieves success but is not possessive.
It enfolds and nourishes the ten thousand things,
Yet it does not claim ownership.
Always desireless and covetous of nothing,
It could be termed small.
But as the ten thousand things return to it,
And it does not care to be their lord,
It could be termed great.
Thus the Sage never in life tries to be great,
And for this very reason becomes truly great."
- Translated by Henry Wei, 1982, Chapter 34

"The Tao is immanent; it extendeth to the right hand as to the left.
All things derive from it their being; it createth them, and all comply
with it.
Its work is done, and it proclaimeth it not.
It is the ornament of all things, yet it claimeth not fief of them; there is
nothing so small that it inhabiteth not, and informeth it.
All things return without knowledge of the Cause thereof; there is
nothing so great that it inhabiteth not, and informeth it.
In this manner also may the Sage perform his Works.
It is by not thrusting himself forward that he winneth to his success."
- Translated by Aleister Crowley, 1918, Chapter 34

"Great Tao flows everywhere,
It extends to the left and to the right.
All beings receive It in order to live and be free.
It works out perfectness in them although It possesses not a Name.
It protects them with love and sustains them, but does not claim to be Ruler of their actions.
Always seeking the innermost, you may say that Its Name is in the Small.
All beings return again into It, yet It does not claim to be Ruler of their actions.
You may say that Its Name is in the Great.
That is why, to the end of his life, the self-controlled man is not great in action,
Thus he is able to perfect his greatness."
- Translated by Isabella Mears, 1916, Chapter 34

"The big Dao is like a flood, going everywhere.
Everything depends on it to grow, but it never refuses to help.
When things are accomplished, it never claims credit.
It nurtures everything, but never tries to control them.
It never has desires, so it can be called 'the small.'
Everything depends on it, but it never tries to be their master, so it can be called 'the big.'
Only because it never wants to be 'the big,' so it becomes 'the big'."
- Translated by Xiaolin Yang, Chapter 34

"The great Tao flows unobstructed in every direction.
All things rely on it to conceive and be born,
and it does not deny even the smallest of creation.
When it has accomplished great wonders,
it does not claim them for itself.
It nourishes infinite worlds,
yet it doesn't seek to master the smallest creature.
Since it is without wants and desires,
it can be considered humble.
All of creation seeks it for refuge
yet it does not seek to master or control.
Because it does not seek greatness;
it is able to accomplish truly great things."
- Translated by John H. McDonald, 1996, Chapter 34

And his great work thus succeeds."
- Translated by Isaac Winter Heysinger, 1903, Chapter 34

"Dao drifts about aimlessly!
It willingly goes to the left or to the right.
It is fully satisfied with a successful event, but isn’t willing to have a title.

All living things depend on it, but it’s not willing to act as their master.
Consequently, it is always without desires.
It is only willing to accept a title that is insignificant.

All living things depend on it, but it’s not willing to act as their master.
It is only willing to accept destiny as greatness.

It’s natural for a wise person to have the ability to accomplish great success.
Simply because she doesn’t act in a grand manner.
Therefore, she has the ability to achieve great success."
- Translated by Nina Correa, 2005, Chapter 34

"Der große Sinn ist überströmend;
er kam zur Rechten sein und zur Linken.
Alle Dinge verdanken ihm ihr Dasein,
und er verweigert sich ihnen nicht.
Ist das Werk vollbracht,
so heißt er es nicht seinen Besitz.
Er kleidet und nährt alle Dinge
und spielt nicht ihren Herrn.
Sofern er ewig nicht begehrend ist,
kann man ihn als klein bezeichnen.
Sofern alle Dinge von ihm abhängen,
ohne ihn als Herrn zu kennen,
kann man ihn als groß bezeichnen.
Also auch der Berufene:
Niemals macht es sich groß;
darum bringt er sein Großes Werk zustande."
- Translated by Richard Wilhelm, 1911, Chapter 34

"Wahre Größe offenbart sich imDienen

O du überströmendes, alles überflutendes Wesen!
Durch Dich ist das All.
In Dir leben alle Wesen.
Du versagst Dich keinem.
Du alles wirkende, alles fördernde,
alles ernährende Weltenmutter,
Du ewige Dienerin des Lebens!
Nie strebst Du nach Ruhm.
Klein erscheinst Du denen,
die Dein anspruchsloses Dienen nicht erfassen.
Groß aber bist Du, wenn alle Dinge in Dich zurückkehren!
Und dennoch gebärdest Du Dich nicht als Herrin.
So dient auch der Weyse Seyn Leben lang,
nie nach Größe fragend, doch Großes wirkend."
- Translated by Rudolf Backofen, 1949, Chapter

"The great Tao flows everywhere
It fills everything to the left and to the right
All things owe their existence to it and it cannot deny any one of them
Tao is eternal
It does not favour one over the other
It brings all things to completion without their even knowing it
Tao nourishes and protects all creatures yet does not claim lordship over them
So we class it with the most humble
Tao is the home to which all things return yet it wants nothing in return
So we call it he Greatest
The Sage is the same way ?
He does not claim greatness over anything
He not eve aware of his own greatness
Tell me, what could be greater than this?"
- Translated by Jonathan Star, 2001, Chapter 34

"Tao is everywhere.
It can be guidance.
Everything lives depending on it without exception,
With such accomplishment, it claims none.
Providing clothing and food to everything, it does not govern them: this is called lowliness.
Guiding everything, it does not master, this can be called greatness.
Because it does not proclaim to be great, it can actually be great."
- Translated by Thomas Zhang, Chapter 34

"The great Tao is the cycle of life!
It can move to the left and to the right.
Ten-thousand things rely upon it and it gives birth and does not refuse.
It deserves praise for the whole which cannot be named.
It clothes and nourishes ten-thousand things and does not act like a ruler.
It is always without deep seated desires.
Its name is associated with everything including the small.
Ten-thousand things revert to their original state, and from that place do not act as rulers.
The Name becomes great because until the end, it is not great and does not act great.
Thus it can succeed in its greatness."
- Translated by Alan Sheets and Barbara Tovey, Chapter 34

"Great tao flowing everywhere
It can be left or right
All things depend on it yet exist yet without being denied.

Outstanding service is performed without the presence of names
It clothes and cultivates the 10000 things
Yet without acting as lord.

With entireness absent of desire
    One can name in relation to smallness
    The 10000 things merge and blend
    Yet without action as lord one can name great actions.

What is entirely without a self to act great happens
So it is able to perfect what is great."
- Translated by David Lindauer, Chapter 34

"How all-pervading the superior Dao is!
It could be on the left, it could be on the right.
Upon it the life of all things depends and it does not deny anyone.
It accomplishes merits but it does not possess fame.
It shields and nourishes All Things but it does not lord over them.
It may be called the Superior.
Hence, a Sage ruler never wishes to be superior.
Therefore he eventually became superior."
- Translated by Tang Zi-Chang, Chapter 34

"Le Tao s'étend partout; il peut aller à gauche comme à droite.
Tous les êtres comptent sur lui pour naître, et il ne les repousse point.
Quand ses mérites sont accomplis, il ne se les attribue point.
Il aime et nourrit tous les êtres, et ne se regarde pas comme leur maître.
Il est constamment sans désirs: on peut l'appeler petit.
Tous les êtres se soumettent à lui, et il ne se regarde pas comme leur maître: on peut l'appeler grand.
De là vient que, jusqu'à la fin de sa vie, le saint homme ne s'estime pas grand.
C'est pourquoi il peut accomplir de grandes choses."
- Translated by Stanislas Julien, 1842, Chapter 34

Great Tao is all pervading!
It can be on both the right hand and the left.
Everything relies upon it for their existence, and it does not fail them.
It acquires merit but covets not the title.
It lovingly nourishes everything, but does not claim the rights of ownership.
It has no desires, it can be classed with the small.
Everything returns to it, yet it does not claim the right of ownership.
It can be classed with the great.

Therefore the wise man to the end will not pose as a great man,
and by so doing will express his true greatness."
- Translated by Dwight Goddard and Henri Borel, 1919, Chapter 34

Daodejing Español, Inglés, y Chino Versiones Lingüísticas de la Daodejing

"El gran, Tao fluye por todos partes, hacia la izquierda y hacia la derecha.
Todas las cosas existen por mediación suya, ye él no las rechaza.
Al dar es espléndido, no exige retribucción.
Ama y nutre todas las cosas, pero no domina sobre ellas.
Es siempre no-existente, por lo que puede ser llamado pequeño.
Todas las cosas regresan a él, pero él no las reclama como su dueño; por esto puede ser llamado grande.
Porque nunca asume su grandeza, la grandeza está con él."
- Translated from Chinese into English by Ch'u Ta-Kao, Translated from English into Spanish by Caridad Diaz Faes, Capítulo 34

"El Gran Tao es universal como una corriente.
¿Cómo puede ser desviado a la derecha o a la izquierda?
Todas las criaturas dependen de él, y no niega nada a nadie.
Lleva a cabo su labor, pero no se la atribuye.
Todo lo viste y alimenta, pero no se enseñorea sobre nada:
Así, puede ser llamado "lo Grande".
Precisamente porque no desea ser grande, su grandeza se realiza plenamente."
- Translated into Spanish by Alfonso Colodrón from the English translation by John C. H. Wu, 1993, Tao Te Ching, Capítulo # 34

"El gran Tao inunda a la izquierda, a la derecha.
Los diez mil seres confían viviendo en él
y él no los rechaza.
El trabajo se completa
pero él no se apodera de éste.
Viste y nutre a los diez mil seres
pero no los domina.

Eternamente sin deseo,
quizá su nombre sea “pequeño”.

Los diez mil seres retornan a él;
sin embargo, él no los domina.

Quizá su nombre sea “grande”.
Porque nunca se considera a sí mismo grande,
es posible entonces llamarlo así."
- Translated by Álex Ferrara, 2003, Capítulo # 34

"El principio único se puede encontrar en todas partes, todo el tiempo.
Todo funciona según él.
Cada vida se desarrolla de acuerdo con ella.
El principio único no dice sí a esto y no a eso.
A pesar de que Tao es la fuente de todo crecimiento y desarrollo, nada beneficia a Tao.
Tao se beneficia de todos sin retorno y sin prejuicios.
Tampoco la propiedad privada de principio único.

No puedes poseerlo.
No te pertenece.
Su grandeza reside en su universalidad.
Es todo incluido.

El líder sabio sigue este principio y no actúa egoístamente.
El líder no acepta a una persona y se niega a trabajar con otra.
El líder no posee personas ni controla sus vidas.
El liderazgo no es una cuestión de ganar.
El trabajo realizado con el fin de arrojar la luz de la concienciación sobre
lo que está sucediendo: también, servicio desinteresado, sin prejuicios, al conexo para todos."
- Translated into English by John Heider, 1985, Chapter 34.
Spanish version from Michael P. Garofalo.

"El Gran Tao es como un río que fluye en todas las direcciones.
Los diez mil seres y las diez mil cosas le deben la existencia
y él a ninguno se la niega.
El Tao cumple su propósito sin apropiarse de nada.
Cuida y alimenta a los diez mil seres
sin adueñarse de ellos.
Carece de ambiciones,
por eso puede ser llamado pequeño.
Los diez mil seres retornan a él sin que los reclame,
y por eso puede ser llamado grande.
De la misma forma, el sabio nunca se considera grande,
y así, perpetúa su grandeza."
- Translation from Wikisource, 2013, Capítulo 34

"El Tao Eterno penetra todo.
Está presente a la izquierda y al la derecha.
Y gracias a Tao, todas las almas aparecen, siguen viviendo y siguen desarrolándose.
Aungue Tao es tan grandioso y realiza actos tan grandes, no desea la gloria para para Sí.
Tao educa con amor a todos los seres, no ejerce violencia sobre ellos
y no insiste en que las personas cumplan Sus deseos.
Tao es Grande, aunque no insiste en esto.
Las personas razonables anhelan alcanzar a Tao, al Grande."
- Translated by Anton Teplyy, 2008, Capítulo 34
