  • 老子道德經(jīng)(英譯本)Lao Tze 72. Revolution

    作者: 《Lao Tze》李耳
    When people have nothing more to lose,
    Then revolution will result.

    Do not take away their lands,
    And do not destroy their livelihoods;
    If your burden is not heavy then they will not shirk it.

    The sage maintains himself but exacts no tribute,
    Values himself but requires no honours;
    He ignores abstraction and accepts substance.
