《老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze》46. Horses

　　When a nation follows the Way,

　　Horses bear manure through its fields;

　　When a nation ignores the Way,

　　Horses bear soldiers through its streets.

　　There is no greater mistake than following desire;

　　There is no greater disaster than forgetting contentment;

　　There is no greater sickness than seeking attainment;

　　But one who is content to satisfy his needs

　　Finds that contentment endures.
