《老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze》第七十五章 72. Revolution · 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.
