THE TAO OF LIBERTY
Excerpts from the TAO TE CHING, by Lao-tsu
[ The more laws and restrictions there are, the poorer people become.
[ When taxes are too high, people go hungry.
[ I let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes as common as the grass.
[ Violence, even well-intentioned, invariably rebounds upon oneself.
[ The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be... Try to make people moral, and you lay the groundwork for vice.
[ Center your country in the Tao and evil will have no power. Not that it isn't there, but you'll be able to step out of its way.
[ Let the Tao be present in your country and your country will be an example to all countries in the world.
[ When man interferes with the Tao, the sky becomes filthy, the earth becomes depleted, the balance crumbles, creatures become extinct.
