62. Those who seek reputation are greedy and clumsy, those who resort to craft.
真廉無廉名,立名者正所以為貪;大巧無巧術,用術者乃所以為拙。
【今文解譯】
真正的廉潔無需廉潔為其名:為自己樹立廉潔的名聲,其實就是一種貪圖名聲的行為。
真正的才智無需機巧為其術:靠玩弄機巧來施展才智,其實就是為了掩飾自己的無能。
【English Translation】
True honesty has no reputation to seek; the person who seeks reputation for himself is called greedy.
Great wisdom needs no craft to resort to; the person who resorts to craft is called clumsy.
