Chapter 46
第四十六章
When the Tao prevails in the world, they send back their swift horses to (draw) the dung-carts.
天下有道，卻走馬以糞，
When the Tao is disregarded in the world, the war-horses breed in the border lands.
天下無道，戎馬生于郊。
There is no guilt greater than to sanction ambition;
罪莫厚于甚欲，
no calamity greater than to be discontented with one's lot;
咎莫憯于欲得，
no fault greater than the wish to be getting.
禍莫大于不知足。
Therefore the sufficiency of contentment is an enduring and unchanging sufficiency.
故知足之足，常足矣。
