Chinese Text: 不尚賢，使民不爭；不貴難得之貨，使民不為盜；不見可欲，使心不亂。
是以聖人之治，虛其心， 實 其腹，弱其志，強其骨。常使民無知無欲。使 夫1知者不敢為也。為無為，則無不治。
English Text: I- (Keeping the people at rest)
Not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to keep the people from rivalry among themselves; not to prize articles which are difficult to procure is the way to keep them from becoming thieves; not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is the way to keep their minds from disorder.
II-Therefore the sage, in the exercise of his government, empties their minds, fills their bellies, weakens their wills, and strengthens their bones.
III- He constantly (tries to) keep them without knowledge and without desire, and where there are those who have knowledge, to keep them from presuming to act (on it). When there is this abstinence from action, good order is universal.
