You can run a country by sticking to principles,
and you can win a war with strategy and tactics.
But you can gain the entire world
by doing nothing at all.
How do I know this?
I've seen it happen:
The more restrictions a nation imposes,
the poorer its people become.
When a nation hoards weapons,
troubles arise from within and from without.
When its leaders try to be cunning and clever,
the situation spins further out of control.
When they try to fix things
by passing more laws,
they only increase the number of outlaws.
A wise leader says to himself:
"I do nothing, and people transform themselves.
I keep silent,
and they do the right thing on their own.
I stay out of the way,
and they prosper.
I want for nothing,
and they lead simple lives."
