| 80 | 道德經: | 小國寡民。使有什伯之器而不用；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. |

| 30 | 符言: | 老子曰：得萬人之兵，不如聞一言之當，得隋侯之珠，不如得事之所由，得和氏之璧，不如得事之所適。天下雖大，好用兵者亡，國雖安，好戰者危，故「小國寡民，使有阡陌之器而勿用。」 |

| 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。使有什伯之器而不用，使民各有部曲什伯，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。 |
