9. 立名为贪 用术为拙
9. The person who seeks reputation for himself is called greedy; the person who resorts to craft is called clumsy.

真廉无名，立名者所以为贪；大巧无术，用术者所以为拙。

【今文解译】

真正的廉洁不需廉洁为其名：为自己树立廉洁的名声，其实就是一种贪图名声的行为。

真正的才智不需机巧为其术：靠玩弄机巧来施展才智，其实就是为了掩饰自己的笨拙。

【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. muewKRPTDvMPUbJQPjAAYDV5kQBhzi7IPt9dx9wBeOw6HKiKwuH+rLqWkAFQd7v9
