Ts'áakab
天下有道，却走马以粪。天下无道，戎马生于郊。
祸莫大于不知足，咎莫大于欲得。故知足之足，常足矣。

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.
