"When the Tao is present in the universe,
The horses haul manure.
When the Tao is absent from the universe,
War horses are bred outside the city.
There is no greater sin than desire,
No greater curse than discontent,
No greater misfortune than wanting something for oneself.
Therefore he who knows that enough is enough will always have enough."
- Translated by Jane English, Chapter 46

"When the world follows Tao,
racehorses work on farms.
When the world forsakes Tao,
cavalry horses practice in parks.
The greatest curse is discontent.
It is the greatest misery.
The greatest sin is selfish striving.
Being content with contentment
is to be always satisfied."
- Translated by C. Ganson, Chapter 46

"Dissatisfaction: Being at peace

When Tao rules in the world, work-horses manure the fields.
When Tao does not rule in the world,
war-horses are bred outside the city.

There is no greater disaster than not
knowing when we have had enough.
There is no greater fault than the desire for gain.
Therefore those who know when enough is enough,
always have enough."
- Translated by Amy M. and Roderic Sorrell, 2003, Chapter 46

"When the world is with the Way,
Galloping horses are sent back for dung.
When the world is without the Way,
War horses are raised in the suburbs.
No calamity is greater than not knowing contentment;
No trouble is greater than desiring gain.
Therefore, the contentment of knowing contentment is constant contentment."
- Translated by Yi Wu, Chapter 46

No guilt is greater than Egoic motivations;
no disaster is greater than Egoic discontent;
no crime is greater than the Egoic desire for gain.

Therefore, Contentment that derives from knowing when to be Content
is Eternal Contentment."
- Translated by Jerry C. Welch, 1998, Chapter 46

"With the Way, horses are used for farming.
With the Way lost, horses give births in battlefields.
No disaster is worse than greed.
No fault is worse than desire.
Therefore, one who can be easily satisfied
Will be always satisfied."
- Translated by Liu Qixuan, Chapter 46

king lots and highways get plowed under
oil cushions the crust of the earth.
When the way is not followed
railroads haul weapons and fuel
food and energy are stockpiled
the earth is bled away and sold.

No motive is more compelling
than wanting what others have
no illness more debilitating
than dissatisfaction with what one has
no better forecast of failure
than wanting more.

Knowing
the satisfaction
of being content
with the simple life
a wise person will always be satisfied."
- Translated by Tom Kunesh, Chapter 46

Taoism: An Essential Guide By Eva Wong

"When the world yields to Tao, race horses will be used to haul manure.
When the world ignores Tao war horses are pastured on the public common.
There is no sin greater than desire.
There is no misfortune greater than discontent.
There is no calamity greater than acquisitiveness.
Therefore to know extreme contentment is simply to be content."
- Translated by Dwight Goddard, 1919, Chapter 46

"When the Way rules the world,
Coach horses fertilize the fields;
When the Way does not rule,
War horses breed in the parks.
No sin can exceed
Incitement to envy;
No calamity's worse
Than to be discontented,
Nor is there an omen
More dreadful than coveting.
But once be contented,
And truly you'll always be so."
- Translated by Raymond B. Blakney, Chapter 46

"When Tao is present in the world
Racehorses are taken off to work in the fields.
When Tao is absent from the world
War-horses are bred in the countryside.

There is no crime greater than having desires.
No disaster is greater than not being content with one’s lot.
The worst misfortune is to be greedy.
He who is content with what he has
Has enough."
- Translated by Keith H. Seddon, Chapter 46

"When the world follows Tao,
the horses haul manure.
When the world abandoned Tao.
War horses run wild.
There is no greater sin than unable to be satisfied.
No greater misfortune than wanting and wanting.
Thus, he who knows that enough is enough will always have enough."

"In a land where the way of life is understood
Race-horses are led back to serve the field;

War-horses are bred on the autumn yield.
Owning is the entanglement,
Wanting is the bewilderment,
Taking is the presentiment:
Only he who contains content
Remains content."

Lao Zi's Dao De Jing: A Matrix Translation with Chinese Text by Bradford Hatcher.

"When the Dao rules, even the great war horses are used to plow the field,
When the Dao is overruled, even the pregnant horses are used in battle.
The biggest disaster is not knowing when to be satisfied,
The biggest mistake is to always want more.
Therefore, knowing when to be satisfied is the ever-lasting satisfaction."

Daoism and Chinese Culture By Livia Kohn

"When the Way prevails below the sky
Disbanded chargers dung the lad;
But when the Way the world deserts
War horses breed outside the towns.
No crime exceeds desire sanctioned,
No woe is worse than discontent,
No omen more dire than desire gained.
Truly with few wants content,
Contentment lasts as long as life."
- Translated by Moss Roberts, 2001, Chapter 46

"When the world holds to the way
Retired racehorses are useful for manure
When the world loses the way
War horses breed throughout the frontier
There is no vice greater than submitting to greed
No suffering greater than never knowing sufficiency
No error greater than the hunger for gain
So to know that sufficiency is in itself sufficient
Is a truly durable sufficiency"
- Translated by Bradford Hatcher, 2005, Chapter 46

"When there is Tao in the empire
The galloping steeds are turned back to fertilize the ground by their droppings.
When there is not Tao in the empire
War horses will be reared even on the sacred mounds below the city walls.
No lure is greater than to possess what others want,
No disaster greater than not to be content with what one has,
No presage of evil greater than men should be wanting to get more.
Truly:
“He who has once known the contentment that comes simply through being content,
Will never again be otherwise than contented”."

"When dao reigns in the kingdom, galloping horses are turned back to fertilise certain fields with their manure.
If the world in accord with dao, racing horses are turned back to pull refuse carts.
When the world hardly lives in accord with dao, dao doesn't prevail or win.
Next war horses will be reared even on a sacred hill below the city walls,
and blatant cavalry will frolic in the countryside, driving and riding pestering war horses in suburbs in between.
Dao does hardly prevail if war is on in city suburbs.
No lure is greater than to possess what others want.
There's no greater guilt than [sudden] discontent.
There's (...) greater disaster than greed.
[Eventually] there's hardly a greater sin than desire for possession.
No disaster could be greater than [...] to be content with what one has [in dire need and disabling poverty].
No presage of [airy] evil is greater than men wanting to get more.
He who has once known the pure [orgasm] contentment that comes simply through being content [at its peak],
gets rather content-centred a long time after."
- Translated by Tormond Byrn, Chapter 46

"When state politics are on the right track, war horses are used in farming.
When state politics are off track, even mares with foal have to be used in battle.
There is no calamity greater than discontentment.
There is no guilt greater than covetousness.
Therefore the contentment with knowing contentment is always contented."
- Translated by Ren Jiyu, 1985, Chapter 46

"When the world is under the influence of Tao, swift horses are discarded as so much ordure.
When the world is without Tao, war-horses are born even in remote wilds; they are bred everywhere.
There is no sin greater than that of permitting desire.
There is no calamity greater than discontent.
There is no fault greater than the desire of gain.
Wherefore the sufficiency of those who are contented is an enduring sufficiency."
- Translated by Frederic Henry Balfour, 1884, Chapter 46

Lifestyle Advice from Wise Persons

"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 warhorses 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.
Therefore the sufficiency of contentment is an enduring and unchanging sufficiency."
- Translated by Andre von Gauthier, Chapter 46

"When the world has the Way,
Ambling horses are retired to fertilize fields.
When the world lacks the Way
War horses are bred outside the city.
Of sins - none is greater than having things that one desire,
Of disasters - none is greater than not knowing when one has enough.
Of defects - none brings greater sorrow than desire to attain.
Therefore he who knows that enough is enough is abiding contentment indeed."
- Translated by Bram den Hond, Chapter 46

Lifestyle Advice from Wise Persons

"When Tao was manifested to men,
Horses were used for cultivating the fields.
When Tao was hid within itself,
War horses were reared on the frontiers.
There is no sin greater than desire,
There is no misfortune greater than discontent,
There is no calamity greater than the wish to acquire,
Therefore to be satisfied is an everlasting sufficiency."
- Translated by Isabella Mears, 1916, Chapter 46

"When the Way reigns in the land,
Horses go back to ploughing the fields.
When the Way does not reign in the land,
War-horses breed on the frontiers.
There’s no crime worse
Than to pander to one’s desires.
There’s no sickness worse
Than not knowing what is enough.
There’s no greater catastrophe
Than the lust for gain.
Whoever knows what is enough
Will be happy with his fate."
- Translated by A. S. Kline, 2003, Chapter 46

"When the world has Dao, trained horses are set free to fertilize the countryside.
When the world is without Dao, army horses thrive in the outskirts of the city.
As for crime – nothing contributes to it more than wanting too much.
As for offending others – nothing is sadder than the desire to gain.
As for misfortune – nothing is greater than not being content with what you have.
Know that you already have enough, your actions are enough, and you’ll always be enough."
- Translated by Nina Correa, 2005, Chapter 46

And satisfied, will evermore endure."
- Translated by Isaac Winter Heysinger, 1903, Chapter 46

"When the world lives in accord with Tao,
Racing horses are turned back to haul refuse carts.
When the world lives not in accord with Tao,
Cavalry abounds in the countryside.
There is no greater curse than the lack of contentment.
No greater sin than the desire for possession.
Therefore he who is contented with contentment shall be always content."
- Translated by Lin Yutang, 1955, Chapter 46

"Wenn der Sinn herrscht auf Erden,
so tut man die Rennpferde ab zum Dungführen.
Wenn der Sinn abhanden ist auf Erden,
so werden Kriegsrosse gezüchtet auf dem Anger.
Es gibt keine größere Sünde als viele Wünsche.
Es gibt kein größeres Übel als kein Genüge kennen.
Es gibt keinen größeren Fehler als haben wollen.
Darum:
Das Genügen der Genügsamkeit ist dauerndes Genügen."
- Translated by Richard Wilhelm, 1911, Chapter 46

"Genügsamkeit erhält den Frieden

Lebt die Gemeinschaft in Ordnung, ziehen die Roße den Pflug.
Verliert sie ihr inn'res Gesetz,
steh'n sie zum Kriege bereit.
Größere Sünde gibt's nimmer als Billigung zuchtloserGier.
Größeres Übel gibt's nimmer als niemals sich lassengenügen.
Größeres Unheil gibt's nimmer
als Ehrsucht und Drang nach Erfolg.
Nur wer sich zufrieden gibt, hat dauernden Frieden im Land."
- Translated by Rudolf Backofen, 1949, Chapter 46

"When the world has the way, people do what the want
When it loses the way, they are forced to do what they're told
There is no greater crime than wanting too much
No disaster more total than not knowing when to stop
No flaw more serious than the grasping hand
Know what enough is, know when you have it, and be content
That is wisdom"
- Translated by Ted Wrigley, Chapter 46

"When Tao is in the world, horses are used in the pastureland.
When Tao has left the world, chargers are reared in the wilderness.
There is no greater sin than indulging desire.
There is no greater pain than discontent.
There is nothing more disastrous than the greed of gain.
Hence the satisfaction of contentment is an everlasting competence."
- Translated by Walter Gorn Old, 1904, Chapter 46

"Swift horses are curbed for hauling dung-carts in the field.
When Tao does not reign in the world,
War horses are bred on the commons outside the cities.
There is no greater crime than seeking what men desire;
There is no greater misery than knowing no content;
There is no greater calamity than indulging in greed.
Therefore the contentment of knowing content will ever be contented."
- Translated by Ch'u Ta-Kao, 1904, Chapter 46

"When the Tao prevails in the world,
The battle steeds are returned to farmers for tilling the fields;
When the Tao does not prevail in the world,
Even pregnant mares are taken over for wars.
No crime is greater than greediness;
No disaster is greater than the lack of contentment;
Thus the contentment of feeling content
Is an eternal contentment."
- Translated by Gu Zhengkun, Chapter 46

"Lorsque le Tao régnait dans le monde, on renvoyait les chevaux pour cultiver les champs.
Depuis que le Tao ne règne plus dans le monde, les chevaux de combat naissent sur les frontières.
Il n'y a pas de plus grand crime que de se livrer à ses désirs.
Il n'y a pas de plus grand malheur que de ne pas savoir se suffire.
Il n'y a pas de plus grande calamité que le désir d'acquérir.
Celui qui sait se suffire est toujours content de son sort."
- Translated by Stanislas Julien, 1842, Chapter 46

los caballos de guerra acarrean estiércol.
Cuando no hay Tao en el mundo
Los campos se usan para criar caballos de guerra.
No hay mayor error que consentir los deseos.
No hay mayor desgracia que ser insaciable.
No hay mayor vicio que ser codicioso.
Quien sepa moderarse al obtener lo suficiente,
siempre estará saciado."
- Translation from Wikisource, 2013, Capítulo 46

"Cuando el Mundo no está en acuerdo con el Tao,
Los caballos transportan a los soldados a través de los campos;
Cuando el mundo está de acuerdo con el Tao,
Los caballos tiran de arados a través de los campos.
No hay mayor maldición que el deseo;
No hay mayor miseria que el descontento;
No hay mayor enfermedad que la codicia;
Pero el que se conforma con lo que posee
Siempre será rico."
- Translated by Antonio Rivas, 1998, Chapter 46

"Cuando hay Tao en el mundo,

Cuando no hay Tao,

ni desdicha mayorque la de no saber saciarse.
Ni vicio mayor que la ambición.
Lasuficiencia del que sabe contentarse es suficiencia duradera."
- Translated by Carmelo Elorduy, 2006, Chapter 46

"Cuando el dao reina en el mundo,
los buenos corceles acarrean estiércol.
Cuando no reina el dao,
las yeguas, utilizadas para la guerra, paren en campo abierto.
No hay crimen mayor que dejarse arrastrar por los deseos,
no hay desgracia mayor que no saberse nunca satisfecho,
no hay defecto más doloroso que la ambición.
Por eso la satisfacción de quien sabe contentarse,
es la única satisfacción perdurable."
