I just saw this as a person's e-mail signature.  Food for thought:
 
When the great Tao is forgotten, goodness and piety appear.
When the body's intelligence declines, cleverness and knowledge set forth.
When there is no peace in the family, filial piety begins.
When the country falls into chaos, patriotism is born.
 
--Tau Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell, trans.)
