Only those who take leisurely what the people of the world are busy about can be busy about what the people of the world take leisurely. (Chang Chao)

It is not truth that makes man great, but man that makes truth great. (Gung Fu Tse)

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 hearts
Makes 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 deeds
May all live in peace.
(Lao Tse, Ts Lin Yutang)
