75 道德经:
民之饥,以其上食税之多,是以饥。民之难治,以其上之有为,是以难治。民之轻死,以其求生之厚,是以轻死。夫唯无以生为者,是贤于贵生。
Dao De Jing:
(How greediness injures)
The people suffer from famine because of the multitude of taxes consumed by their superiors. It is through this that they suffer famine.
The people are difficult to govern because of the (excessive) agency of their superiors (in governing them). It is through this that they are difficult to govern.
The people make light of dying because of the greatness of their labours in seeking for the means of living. It is this which makes them think light of dying. Thus it is that to leave the subject of living altogether out of view is better than to set a high value on it.

1 贪损:
民之饥,以其上食税之多,是以饥。人民所以饥寒者,以其君上税食下太多,民皆化上为贪,叛道违德,故饥。民之难治,以其上之有为,是以难治。民之不可治者,以其君上多欲,好有为也。是以其民化上有为,情伪难治。民之轻死,以其上求生之厚,人民所以侵犯死者,以其求生活之道太厚,贪利以自危。是以轻死。以求生太厚之故,轻入死地也。夫为无以生为者,是贤于贵生。夫唯独无以生为务者,爵禄不干于意,财利不入于身,天子不得臣,诸侯不得使,则贤于贵生也。

48 道应训:
昔孙叔敖三得令尹,无喜志;三去令尹,无忧色。延陵季子,吴人愿一以为王而不肯;许由,让天下而弗受;晏子与崔杼盟,临死地不变其仪;此皆有所远通也。精神通于死生,则物孰能惑之!荆有佽非,得宝剑于干队,还反度江,至于中流,阳侯之波,两蛟挟绕其船,佽非谓枻船者曰:“尝有如此而得活者乎?”对曰:“未尝见也。”于是佽非瞑目,勃然攘臂拔剑曰:“武士可以仁义之礼说也,不可劫而夺也。此江中之腐肉朽骨,弃剑而已。余有奚爱焉!”赴江刺蛟,遂断其头,船中人尽活。风波毕除,荆爵为执圭。孔子闻之,曰:“夫善哉!腐肉朽骨弃剑者,佽非之谓乎!”故老子曰:“夫唯无以生为者,是贤于贵生焉。
