Chapter 41 section 2
Thus, there is a traditional saying:
The bright path seems dim;
going forward seems like retreat;
the easy way seems hard;
the highest virtue seems empty;
the purest white seems sullied;
a wealth of virtue seems inadequate;
the strength of virtue seems frail;
real virtue seems unreal;
the perfect square has no corners;
great talents ripen late;
the highest note is hard to hear;
the grandest form has no shape.
