《老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze》3. Without Action

　　Not praising the worthy prevents contention,

　　Not esteeming the valuable prevents theft,

　　Not displaying the beautiful prevents desire. In this manner the sage governs people:

　　Emptying their minds,

　　Filling their bellies,

　　Weakening their ambitions,

　　And strengthening their bones.

　　If people lack knowledge and desire

　　Then they can not act;

　　If no action is taken

　　Harmony remains.
