《史记·七十列传·太史公自序》
李耳主张无为而治，使百姓自化于善；清静寡欲，使百姓自归于正。韩非揣度事物的实际情况，遵循事物发展的趋势和道理。
李耳无为自化，清净自正；韩非揣事情，循埶理。
Li Er advocated for governing without actions, so that people could transform themselves to be good, and for being calm and free from desires, so that people could return to the correct path. Han Fei weighed the actual situations of things, and abided by the trend and the truth of the development of things.
