A good traveller leaves no track or trace. A good speech leaves no flaws. A good reckoner uses no counters.
A well-shut door needs no bolts, and yet it cannot be opened. A well-tied knot needs no rope and yet none can untie it.
Therefore the sage is always good in saving men and consequently no man is rejected. He is always good in saving things and consequently nothing is rejected. This is called following the light (of Nature).
Therefore the good man is the teacher of the bad, And the bad is the material from which the good may learn.
He who does not value the teacher, Or greatly care for the material, Is greatly deluded although he may be learned. Such is the essential mystery.
- Chinese :
《道德經》: 善行無轍迹，善言無瑕讁；善數不用籌策；善閉無關楗而不可開，善結無繩約而不可解。是以聖人常善救人，故無棄人；常善救物，故無棄物。是謂襲明。故善人者，不善人之師；不善人者，善人之資。不貴其師，不愛其資，雖智大迷，是謂要妙。
《老子河上公章句·巧用》: 善行無轍迹，善言無瑕讁，善數不用籌策，善閉無關楗而不可開善結無繩約而不可解。是以聖人常善救人，故無棄人；常善救物，故無棄物。是謂襲明。故善人者，不善人之師；不善人者，善人之資。不貴其師，雖智大迷，是謂要妙。
《馬王堆·老子甲道經》: 善行者無勶迹，□言者無瑕適；善數者不以檮策；善閉者無關籥而不可啟也，善結者□□約而不可解也。是以聲人恆善救人，而無棄人；物無棄財。是胃申明。故善□□□之師；不善人，善人之齎也。不貴其師，不愛其齎，唯知乎大眯，是胃眇要。
《馬王堆·老子乙道經》: 善行者無達迹，善言者無瑕適；善數者不用篿策；善○閉者無關籥而不可啟也，善結者無纆約而不可解也。是以聖人恆善救人，而無棄人，物無棄財，是胃曳明。故善人，善人之師；不善人，善人之資也。不貴其師，不愛其資，雖知乎大迷，是胃眇要。 (Ⅰ) - He Shanggong (English) :
Who walks well leaves neither rut nor track. Who talks well receives neither blame nor reproach. Who counts well needs no abacus. Who closes well needs no bolts and bars, and one cannot open. Who ties well needs no knotted cords, and one is nevertheless not able to untie. Therefore the saint always benignly saves men. Therefore there are no rejected men. Always benignly he saves the creatures. Therefore there are no rejected creatures. This is called conforming to the light. Therefore the good man is the teacher of the bad man. The bad man is the tool of the good man. If one does not revere one’s teacher, if one does not love one’s tool, though wise, one is very confused. This is called mysterious. (Ⅱ) - He Shanggong (Chinese) :
善行無轍迹，善言無瑕讁，善數不用籌策，善閉無關楗而不可開善結無繩約而不可解。是以聖人常善救人，故無棄人；常善救物，故無棄物。是謂襲明。故善人者，不善人之師；不善人者，善人之資。不貴其師，雖智大迷，是謂要妙。 (Ⅲ) - Ellen Marie Chen (1989) :
Good (shan) running leaves no tracks,
Good speech has no flaws,
Good counting uses no counters,
A good lock uses no bolts yet cannot be opened,
A good knot uses no rope yet cannot be untied.
Hence the sage is always good at saving people,
Therefore no one is rejected.
He is always good at saving things,
Therefore nothing is rejected.
This is called following the light (ming).
Therefore the good person,
Is the not-good (pu-shan) person's teacher.
The not-good (pu-shan) person,
Is the good person's capital.
One who does not honor (kuei) the teacher,
Or love (ai) the capital,
Is greatly confounded though knowledgeable (chih).
This is called the important mystery (miao). (Ⅳ) - Ch'u Ta-Kao (1904) :
A good traveler leaves no track; A good speaker leaves no error; A good reckoner needs no counter;
A good closer needs no bars or bolts, And yet it is impossible to open after him. A good fastener needs no cords or knots, And yet it is impossible to untie after him.
Even if men be bad, why should they be rejected? Therefore the Sage is always a good saviour of men, And no man is rejected; He is a good saviour of things, And nothing is rejected: This is called double enlightenment.
Therefore good men are had men's instructors, And bad men are good men's materials.
Those who do not esteem their instructors, And those who do not love their materials, Though expedient, are in fact greatly confused. This is essential subtlety. (Ⅴ) - World by world translation :

A good walker leaves no trace.
A good speaker uses no blasphemy.
A good calculator uses no counting aids.
A good door-keeper needs no bars.
A good knot uses no strings.
Similarly,
A wise saver will part with no one.
A wise user will waste nothing.
It is the subtle insight that gives such abilities.
The wise person will be seen as the teacher for the unwise.
The unwise will be regarded as the resources for the wise.
One may be a mental genius,
But if he appreciates no teacher or other resources,
He is only a blundering fool.
The key is such teaching/learning. (Ⅶ) - Lynn (2004) :
One good at traveling leaves no tracks or prints.
One good at words says nothing flawed or blameworthy.
One good at reckoning does not use bamboo tallies.
One good at locking up has no lock yet what is locked cannot be opened.
One good at tying up has no cord yet what is tied cannot be untied.
This is how the sage is always good at saving people, so no one is discarded,
Always good at saving things, and so nothing is discarded.
This is what is known as maintaining the light.
Thus the good man is the teacher of men who are not good.
Men who are not good are material for the good man.
But if they do not value their teacher, and he does not cherish his material, no matter how wise, one will become greatly lost.
This is called the "profoundly subtle." (Ⅷ)
