"When Tao was manifested to men, Horses were used for cultivating the fields. When Tao was hid within itself, War horses were reared on the frontiers. There is no sin greater than desire, There is no misfortune greater than discontent, There is no calamity greater than the wish to acquire, Therefore to be satisfied is an everlasting sufficiency."
