80 道德經:
小國寡民。使有伯之器而不用;使民重死而不遠徙。雖有舟輿,無所乘之,雖有甲兵,無所陳之。使民復結繩而用之,甘其食,美其服,安其居,樂其俗。鄰國相望,雞犬之聲相聞,民至老死,不相往來。
Dao De Jing:
(Standing alone)
In a little state with a small population, I would so order it, that, though there were individuals with the abilities of ten or a hundred men, there should be no employment of them; I would make the people, while looking on death as a grievous thing, yet not remove elsewhere (to avoid it).
Though they had boats and carriages, they should have no occasion to ride in them; though they had buff coats and sharp weapons, they should have no occasion to don or use them.
I would make the people return to the use of knotted cords (instead of the written characters).
They should think their (coarse) food sweet; their (plain) clothes beautiful; their (poor) dwellings places of rest; and their common (simple) ways sources of enjoyment.
There should be a neighbouring state within sight, and the voices of the fowls and dogs should be heard all the way from it to us, but I would make the people to old age, even to death, not have any intercourse with it.

1 博選:
王鈇非一世之器者,厚德隆俊也。道凡四稽:一曰天,二曰地,三曰人,四曰命。權人有五至:一曰伯己,二曰己,三曰若己,四曰廝役,五曰徒隸。所謂天者,物理情者也,所謂地者,常弗去者也,所謂人者,惡死樂生者也,所謂命者,靡不在君者也。君也者,端神明者也,神明者,以人為本者也,人者,以賢聖為本者也,賢聖者,以博選為本者也,博選者,以五至為本者也。故北面而事之,則伯己者至,先趨而後息,先問而後默,則己者至,人趨己趨,則若己者至,憑几據杖,指麾而使,則匀役者至,樂嗟苦咄,則徒隸之人至矣。故帝者與師處,王者與友處,亡主與徒處。故德萬人者謂之雋,德千人者謂之豪,德百人者謂之英。德音者,所謂聲也,未聞音出而響過其聲者也。貴者有知,富者有財,貧者有身。信符不合,事舉不成。不死不生,不斷不成。計功而償,權德而言,王鈇在此,孰能使營。

1 獨立:
小國寡民,聖人雖治大國,猶以為小,儉約不奢泰。民雖眾,猶若寡少,不敢勞之也。使有伯之器而不用,使民各有部曲伯,貴賤不相犯也。器謂農人之器。而不用,不徵召奪民良時也。使民重死而不遠徙。君能為民興利除害,各得其所,則民重死而貪生也。政令不煩則民安其業,故不遠遷徙離其常處也。雖有舟輿,無所乘之;清靜無為,不作煩華,不好出入遊娛也。雖有甲兵,無所陳之。無怨惡於天下。使民復結繩而用之,去文反質,信無欺也。甘其食,甘其蔬食,不漁食百姓也。美其服,美其惡衣,不貴五色。安其居,安其茅茨,不好文飾之屋。樂其俗。樂其質朴之俗,不轉移也。鄰國相望,雞犬之聲相聞,相去近也。民至老死不相往來。其無情欲。
