      道德经英文版（还淳第十九）

      ~{  绝圣弃智，民利百倍；绝仁弃义，民复孝慈；绝巧弃利，盗贼无~}

      ~{无忧。~}

      19. Simplify

      If we could abolish knowledge and wisdom

      Then people would profit a hundredfold;

      If we could abolish duty and justice

      Then harmonious relationships would form;

      If we could abolish artifice and profit

      Then waste and theft would disappear.

      Yet such remedies treat only symptoms

      And so they are inadequate.

      People need personal remedies:

      Reveal your naked heart and embrace your original nature;

      Bind your self-interest and control your ambition;

      Forget your habits and simplify your affairs.
