Chapter 47 (四十七) from the Dào​dé​jīng (道德經)Capítulo 47 (四十七) do Dào​dé​jīng (道德經)

四十七

不出戶知天下。
不闚牖見天道。
其出彌遠，
其知彌少。
是以聖人
不行而知。
不見而明。
不為而成。

老子

"Without going outside his door, one understands all that takes place under the sky;
without looking out from his window, one sees the Dao of Heaven.
The farther that one goes out, the less he knows.
Therefore the sages got their knowledge without travelling;
gave their names to things without seeing them;
and accomplished their ends without any purpose of doing so."

"Sem sair da porta
Pode-se conhecer o mundo
Sem ver através da janela
Pode-se conhecer o Caminho do céu
Quanto mais longe saímos
Tanto menos conhecemos
Por isso, o Homem Sagrado
Conhece sem caminhar
Reconhece sem ver
Realiza sem agir"
