The progress of the Way seems retreating.
Throw away sacredness and wisdom and people will be one hundred times happier.
It is fitting for a great nation to yield.
When taxes are too high, people go hungry. When the government is too intrusive, people lose their spirit. Act for the people's benefit. Trust them; leave them alone.
Dignified, like a guest.
A multitude of words is tiresome, unlike remaining centered.
