《老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze》19. Simplify

　　If we could abolish knowledge and wisdom

　　Then people would profit a hundredfold;

　　If we could abolish duty and justice

　　Then harmonious relationships would form;

　　If we could abolish artifice and profit

　　Then waste and theft would disappear.

　　Yet such remedies treat only symptoms

　　And so they are inadequate.

　　People need personal remedies:

　　Reveal your naked self and embrace your original nature;

　　Bind your self-interest and control your ambition;

　　Forget your habits and simplify your affairs.
