Tao te Ching: 37

Tao invariably takes no action, and yet there is nothing left undone.
If kings and barons can keep it, all things will transform spontaneously.
If, after transformation, they should desire to be active,
I would restrain them with simplicity, which has no name.
Simplicity, which has no name, is free of desires.
Being free of desires, it is tranquil.
And the world will be at peace of its own accord.

The concept of simplicity is very similar to the Buddhist concept of the Four Noble Truths, and by extension, the Eight Fold Path. I will cover both in much more detail later, but very briefly the Four Noble Truths are:

1. There is suffering in the world.
2. Suffering is caused by craving/grasping for things.
3. There is a way to stop suffering.
4. The way to stop suffering is to follow the Eight Fold Path.

And the Eight Fold Path goes on to describe a code of conduct that includes Right View, which basically means to see things (including and especially your own motivations) for what they are. Often it is just an animal craving for more or an avoidance of pain. Pain isn't to be confused with suffering. Everyone will get sick and stub their toe or break an arm, suffering is primarily psychological and emotional. In this case, being free of desires is very similar to an ideal on the path to enlightenment in Buddhism.
