Sean, after reading your comment, I was tempted to throw up the James
Legge version on my capsule, but on a whim I reached out to Roger Ames,
who allowed me to house his translation on Gemini!

I wrote about it a little on Allok Dallok:

=> gemini://rawtext.club/~mieum/dallok/2020-10.gmi

The chapter Sandra referenced (27) appears as so in this translation:

> Able travelers leave no ruts or tracks along the way;
> Able speakers make no gaffes that might occasion reproach;
> Able reckoners have no use for tallies or counting sticks;
> Able sealers make no use of bolts or latches yet what they close off cannot be opened.
> Able cinchers make no use of ropes or cords yet their knots cannot be undone.
>
> It is for this reason that the sages in being really good at turning others to account
> Have no need to reject anyone,
> And in dealing with property,
> Have no need to reject anything.
> This is what is called following their natural acuity (ming).
>
> Thus able persons are teachers of the able
> While the inept provide them with raw materials.
>
> While perhaps wise enough,
> Those who fail to honor their teachers and to be sparing with their raw materials
> Have gotten themselves utterly lost.
> This is what is called being subtle and getting to the essentials.
