📜 ⵙⵓⵍ ⵉⵙⵙⵉⴼⵓⵔⵏ (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
James Legge (1891)
When the Tao prevails in the world, they send back their swift horses to (draw) the dung-carts. When the Tao is disregarded in the world, the war-horses breed in the border lands. There is no guilt greater than to sanction ambition; no calamity greater than to be discontented with one's lot; no fault greater than the wish to be getting.
