Do not glorify the skilled and people won't wrangle.
Do not treasure rarities and people won't steal.
Don't flaunt objects of desire and people's hearts
   will not be disturbed.
When the sage rules, he keeps people's minds blank
   and their stomachs full.
He weakens their ambitions but strengthens their bones.
He keeps people free from knowledge and desires
   so the ones who do have knowledge are afraid to act.
If no action is taken, there is nothing that is not right.

'ISqu'
