"Banish wisdom, discard knowledge, And the people shall profit a hundredfold; Banish "humanity," discard "justice," And the people shall recover love of their kin; Banish cunning, discard "utility," And the thieves and brigands shall disappear. As these three touch the externals and are inadequate, The people have need of what they can depend upon: Reveal thy simple self, Embrace thy original nature, Check thy selfishness, Curtail thy desires."
