Confucius - The Folly Of Useless EffortConfucius - The Folly Of Useless Effort
Work rating: Low


The weeds will but the ranker grow,     If fields too large you seek to till.   To try to gain men far away     With grief your toiling heart will fill,   If fields too large you seek to till,     The weeds will only rise more strong.   To try to gain men far away     Will but your heart`s distress prolong.   Things grow the best when to themselves     Left, and to nature`s vigor rare.   How young and tender is the child,     With his twin tufts of falling hair!   But when you him ere long behold,     That child shall cap of manhood wear!
