The withdrawal from ambition

"When the Tao beareth away on Earth, men put swift horses to night-carts. When it is neglected, they breed chargers in the border marches. There is no evil worse than ambition; no misery worse than discontent; no crime greater than greed. Content of mind is peace and satisfaction eternal."
