道德经英文版（知难第七十）

~{  吾言甚易知，甚易行。天下莫能知，莫能行。~}

~{  知我者希，则我者贵。是以圣人被褐而怀玉。~}

70. Individuality

My words are easy to understand 

And my actions are easy to perform

Yet none other can understand or perform them.

My words have meaning; my actions have reason;

Yet these cannot be known and I cannot be known.

We are each unique, and thereby valuable;

Though the gentle wear coarse clothes, their hearts are jade.
