上善若水The highest good is like water.

地势坤，君子以厚德载物。
The earth's condition is receptive devotion.
Thus the superior man who has breadth of character
Carries the outer world.
英文解释：The earth in its devotion carries all things, good and evil,, without exception. In the same way the superior man gives to his character breadth, purity, and sustaining power, so that he is able both to support and to bear with people and things.可能会帮到你~
本来嘛,厚德载物算是从这句话里提炼出来的吧，外国人好像没有单独用这个词的~好像
如果一定要，你可以尝试自己变换一下说法，比方说：
To carry the outer world with a breadth of character. (以厚德来载物）
Great virtue can carry/carries all things(, good and evil).(厚德可以载物）
呃，觉得前一句比较符合原文意思~~~

在周易的英译本里 这两句是这样译的
The movement of heaven is full of power.
Thus the superior man makes himself strong and untiring.
The earth's condition is receptive devotion.
Thus the superior man who has breadth of character carries the outer world.
北京外国语大学李长全教授 主编的一本书中的 译文
As heaven maintains vigor through movements,
a gentle man should constantly strive for self-perfection.
As earth's condition is receptive devotion,
a gentle man should hold the outer world with broad mind.
