Re: Tao Te Ching Chp. 33



ja' 'ISqu':

>Those who know themselves are enlightened...

All of these seem weaker to me than phrasing them to mirror the English:

  val latlh Sovbogh vay'.
  jIvHa' Sov'eghbogh vay'...

>pe'vIl tlhetlhchugh vay' ngoQ ghaj.
>Those who move ahead boldly have purpose.

Consider {Duv} instead of {tlhetlh}, and/or {ghoS} instead of {ghaj}.
