If a government says :
"I will do nothing (of purpose), and the people will be transformed of themselves;
I will be fond of keeping still, and the people will of themselves become correct;
I will take no trouble about it, and the people will of themselves become rich;
I will manifest no ambition, and the people will of themselves attain to the primitive simplicity."

故聖人云：
我無為，而民自化；
我好靜，而民自正；
我無事，而民自富；
我無欲，而民自樸。

-- Tao Te Ching, Laozi 老子 《道德經》
