45．狡猾可以運(yùn)用，但不能濫用
　　狡猾可以運(yùn)用，但不能濫用。狡猾，不應(yīng)成為你的嗜好，更不應(yīng)該用于自夸。所有的計(jì)謀都須隱藏，最該隱藏的就是狡猾，人們最痛恨它。世上常有欺騙，因此你須多加留意。但是，你又不能將防人之心示于人，因?yàn)樗鼤饝岩?，招致麻煩，喚醒他人的報?fù)之心，給你帶來不可預(yù)知的災(zāi)難。做事之前考慮再三是十分有益的，沒有比這更能證明你有智慧。能否運(yùn)籌帷幄，決勝千里，全在于手段是否周全。

45．Use, but do not abuse, cunning
　Use, but do not abuse, cunning. One ought not to delight in it, still less to boast of it. Everything artificial should be concealed, most of all cunning, which is hated. Deceit is much in use; therefore our caution has to be redoubled, but not so as to show itself, for it arouses distrust, causes much annoy, awakens revenge, and gives rise to more ills than you would imagine. To go to work with caution is of great advantage in action, and there is no greater proof of wisdom. The greatest skill in any deed consists in the sure mastery with which it is executed.
