Govern a nation
by following nature.
Fight a war with unexpected
moves. Win the world by
letting go.
How do I know this?
From seeing these things:
The more prohibitions there
are, the poorer people
become.
The more
weapons there are,
the darker things
become.
The more cunning
and cleverness there is,
the crazier things
become.
The more laws there are,
the greater the number
of scoundrels.
Therefore the sage says:
I take no action, and people transform
themselves. I love tranquility, and people
naturally do what is right. I don’t interfere,
and people prosper on their own. I have
no desires, and people return
to simplicity.
