Exalt not the wise,So that the people shall not scheme and contend;Prize not rare objects,So that the people shall not steal;Shut out from site the things of desire,So that the people's hearts shall not be disturbed. Therefore in the government of the Sage:He keeps empty their heartsMakes full their bellies,Discourages their ambitions,Strengthens their frames;So that the people may be innocent of knowledge and desires.And the cunning ones shall not presume to interfere.By action without deedsMay all live in peace.
