"HEAVINESS is the root of lightness. Serenity is the master of restlessness. Therefore, the Sage, travelling all day, Does not part with the baggage-wagon; Though there may be gorgeous sights to see, He stays at ease in his own home. Why should a lord of ten thousand chariots Display his lightness to the world? To be light is to be separated from one's root; To be restless is to lose one's self-mastery."
