My personal preference is the Stephen Mitchell translation, in part because he switches between he and she in his translations, explaining that the written pronoun in the original language is ungendered. So much wisdom in this book! #9 is one of my favorites:
Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.
Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.
