"Not honouring men of worth keeps the people from competing; Not wanting rare things keeps the people from thievery; Not showing off desirous objects keeps the hearts of the people from disaster. That is why the Sage governs himself by relaxing the mind, reinforcing the abdomen, gentling the will, strengthening the bones. Always cause the people to be without knowledge or desires. Cause the intelligent ones to dare not act. Let there be Non-action and there is nothing that will not be well regulated."
