Below is the chapter from two excellent sources along with the original Chinese text. The first source is from a translation by D.T. Suzuki & Paul Carus in 1913 followed by a translation by Stephen Mitchell in 1988.
Chapter 40
1. "Homeward is Reason's course,
Weakness is Reason's force."
2. Heaven and earth and the ten thousand things come from existence, but existence comes from non-existence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Return is the movement of the Tao.
Yielding is the way of the Tao.
All things are born of being.
Being is born of non-being.
Weakness is Reason's force."
