老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 46. Horses

作者：《Lao Tze》李耳

• When a nation follows the Way,
  Horses bear manure through its fields;
  When a nation ignores the Way,
  Horses bear soldiers through its streets.
  
  There is no greater mistake than following desire;
  There is no greater disaster than forgetting contentment;
  There is no greater sickness than seeking attainment;
  But one who is content to satisfy his needs
  Finds that contentment endures.
