Chapter 26

重為輕根，靜為躁君。
是以君子終日行不離輜重。
雖有榮觀，燕處超然。
奈何萬乘之主，而以身輕天下？
輕則失根，躁則失君。

The heavy is the root of the light; the still is the lord of the restless.
That is why the gentleman travels all day without leaving his baggage wagons.
Though there are grand sights, he stays at ease, above them.
How can a lord of ten thousand chariots make light of himself before the world?
Light, one loses the root; restless, one loses the lord.
