let your community be small, with only a few people;

　　keep tools in abundance, but do not depend upon them;

　　appreciate your life and be content with your home;

　　sail boats and ride horses, but don’t go too far;

　　keep weapons and armour, but do not employ them;

　　let everyone read and write,

　　eat well and make beautiful things.

　　live peacefully and delight in your own society;

　　dwell within cock-crow of your neighbours,

　　but maintain your independence from them.
