Translation
Great knowledge is broad and unhurried; small knowledge is cramped and busy. Great words are clear and lofty; small words are shrill and quarrelsome. In sleep, spirits intermingle; in waking, the body opens. Whatever we encounter hooks us. Day after day we use our minds in struggle — sometimes grandiose, sometimes sly, sometimes petty. Little fears bring agitation; great fears bring stupefaction. Thoughts shoot out like a trigger released — judging this right and that wrong.
