Lao Tzu Tao Teachings - Verse 18

When the great Tao is forgotten,
benevolence and moral codes arise.

When shrewdness and cleverness appear,
great hypocrisy follows.

When there is no harmony in the family,
filial manners are developed

When the country is in disorder,
ministers appear as loyal servants.
