"When the world has the Way, ambling horses are retired to fertilize [fields]. When the world lacks the Way, war horses are reared in the suburbs. Of crimes-none is greater than having things that one desires; Of disasters-none is greater than not knowing when one has enough. Of defects-none brings more sorrow than one desire to attain. Therefore, the contentment one has when he knows that he has enough, is abiding contentment indeed."
