Lao Tzu Tao Teachings - Verse 3

Not exalting the talented prevents rivalry.

Not valuing goods that are hard to obtain prevents stealing.

Not displaying desirable things prevents confusion of the heart.

Therefore, the True Person governs
by emptying the heart of desire

and filling the belly with food,
weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.

If the people are simple and free from desire,
then the clever ones never dare to interfere.

Practise action without striving and all will be in order.
