The skilful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels or footsteps; the skilful speaker says nothing that can be found fault with or blamed; the skilful reckoner uses no tallies; the skilful closer needs no bolts or bars, while to open what he has shut will be impossible; the skilful binder uses no strings or knots, while to unloose what he has bound will be impossible.

Ubutwari bwiza nt buronderamo ingo zero. Amagambo meza nt arimo amakara. Iburiro ryiza nt rishakisha inkunga yo gupima. Gucunga neza nt kugira inyuguti, ariko ntibyashobora gufungurwa. Gukomatanya neza nt gushakisha imigende, ariko ntibyashobora gufungurwa. Kuberako umugabo wiwe arushaje arakiza abantu, adakenne abatewe. Arakiza ibintu byose, adakenne ibintu byaciywe. Ibi nibyo bishushanyo by'ubwenge bufumbiye. Kuberako abantu beza barakira abantu bitari beza; abantu bitari beza barakira abantu beza. Ntiagira akagiro k'umwarimu, ntacyo ubwa nyakubaho, nubwo baba bize cyane bari mu buherekero. Ibi ni byo ngiro isoza nziza.
