道德经英文版（还淳第十九）
~{ 绝圣弃智，民利百倍；绝仁弃义，民复孝慈；绝巧弃利，盗贼无~}
~{有。此三者以为文，不足。故令有所属：见素抱朴，少思寡欲，绝学~}~{无忧。~}
19. Simplify
If we could abolish knowledge and wisdom
Then people would profit a hundredfold;
If we could abolish duty and justice
Then harmonious relationships would form;
If we could abolish artifice and profit
Then waste and theft would disappear.
Yet such remedies treat only symptoms
And so they are inadequate.
People need personal remedies:
Reveal your naked heart and embrace your original nature;
Bind your self-interest and control your ambition;
Forget your habits and simplify your affairs.
