Do and it will be done; don’t do and it will not be done: if something is not done, that is because no one did it.
为之则事成,不为则事存;若事尚存,乃因无人为之。
為せば成る、為さねば成らぬ何事も、成らぬは人の為さぬなりけり。
Do and it will be done; don’t do and it will not be done: if something is not done, that is because no one did it.
Yozan Uesugi
为之则事成,不为则事存;若事尚存,乃因无人为之。
