| Not exalting the gifted prevents quarreling. | |||||
| Not collecting treasures prevents stealing. | |||||
| Not seeing desirable things prevents confusion of the heart. | |||||
| The wise therefore rule by emptying hearts and stuffing bellies, | |||||
| by weakening ambitions and strengthening bones. | |||||
| If people lack knowledge and desire, | |||||
| then intellectuals will not try to interfere. | |||||
| If nothing is done, then all will be well. | Lao Tsu | ||||
