Laozi — "Abandon sageliness and discard wisdom, and the people will benefit a hundredfold…"

Abandon sageliness and discard wisdom, and the people will benefit a hundredfold. Abandon benevolence and discard righteousness, and the people will return to filial piety and paternal love. Abandon skill and discard profit, and there will be no thieves or robbers.
