75 道德經:
民之飢,以其上食稅之多,是以飢。民之難治,以其上之有為,是以難治。民之輕死,以其求生之厚,是以輕死。夫唯無以生為者,是賢於貴生。
Dao De Jing:
(How greediness injures)
The people suffer from famine because of the multitude of taxes consumed by their superiors. It is through this that they suffer famine.
The people are difficult to govern because of the (excessive) agency of their superiors (in governing them). It is through this that they are difficult to govern.
The people make light of dying because of the greatness of their labours in seeking for the means of living. It is this which makes them think light of dying. Thus it is that to leave the subject of living altogether out of view is better than to set a high value on it.

1 貪損:
民之饑,以其上食稅之多,是以飢。人民所以饑寒者,以其君上稅食下太多,民皆化上為貪,叛道違德,故饑。民之難治,以其上之有為,是以難治。民之不可治者,以其君上多欲,好有為也。是以其民化上有為,情偽難治。民之輕死,以其上求生之厚,人民所以侵犯死者,以其求生活之道太厚,貪利以自危。是以輕死。以求生太厚之故,輕入死地也。夫為無以生為者,是賢於貴生。夫唯獨無以生為務者,爵祿不干於意,財利不入於身,天子不得臣,諸侯不得使,則賢於貴生也。

13 郎顗襄楷... :
三事:臣聞天道不遠,三五復反。今年少陽之歲,法當乘起,恐後年已往,將遂驚動,涉歷天門,災成戊己。今春當旱,夏必有水,臣以六日七分候之可知。夫災眚之來,緣類而應。行有玷缺,則氣逆于天,精感變出,以戒人君。王者之義,時有不登,則損滋徹膳。數年以來,穀收稍減,家貧戶饉,歲不如昔。百姓不足,君誰與足?水旱之災,雖尚未至,然君子遠覽,防微慮萌。老子曰:「人之飢也,以其上食稅之多也。」故孝文皇帝綈袍革舄,木器無文,約身薄賦,時致升平。今陛下聖德中興,宜遵前典,惟節惟約,天下幸甚。《》曰:「天道無親,常與善人。」是故高宗以享福,宋景以延年。
