134.加倍储存你的资源

加倍储存你的资源。如此这般,你的生活将丰富一倍。不要寄希望于一种事物或者一处资源,无论它多么珍贵。每种东西都应该加倍储藏,尤其是成功、恩赐、自尊之源泉。月有阴晴圆缺,世事变化无常,依靠我们薄弱意志生存的事物更是如此。所以,智者应小心防范这种无常,加倍储存好的有用的资源,这是生活的首要法则。正如大自然都让我们最重要和最易暴露于危险之中的四肢成双成对一样,我们也要用人的智慧来经营自己赖以成功的资源。

134.Double your resources

Double your resources. You thereby double your life. One must not depend on one thing or trust to only one resource, however preeminent. Everything should be kept double, especially the causes of success, of favour, or of esteem. The moon's mutability transcends everything and gives a limit to all existence, especially of things dependent on human will, the most brittle of all things. To guard against this inconstancy should be the sage's care, and for this the chief rule of life is to keep a double store of good and useful qualities. Thus as Nature gives us in duplicate the most important of our limbs and those most exposed to risk, so Art should deal with the qualities on which we depend for success.
