Chapter 56

知者不言，言者不知。
塞其兌，閉其門，挫其銳，解其紛，和其光，同其塵，是謂玄同。
故不可得而親，不可得而疏；
不可得而利，不可得而害；
不可得而貴，不可得而賤。
故為天下貴。

Those who know do not speak; those who speak do not know.
Block the openings, shut the doors; blunt the sharpness, untie the tangles, soften the light, become one with the dust: this is called dark sameness.
So no one can draw near him, and no one can hold him off;
no one can benefit him, and no one can harm him;
no one can honor him, and no one can debase him.
So he is prized by all the world.
