長
天長地久天地所以能長且久者以其不自生故能長生
是以聖人後其身而身先外其身而身存
非以其無私邪故能成其私
Heaven is eternal, Earth everlasting
The reason Heaven and Earth can be eternal and everlasting
Is that they do not live for themselves
Therefore they can live forever
Therefore the sage puts himself last and he is first
Places himself outside and he survives
Is it not because he has no personal interests?
Therefore he can achieve his personal interests
