26

"Gravity is the root of lightness, Quiescence is the master of motion. That is why a king's son though he may travel all day long, does not cease to be quiet and grave; though he may achieve glory he abides in restfulness, he affirms his detachment. How sad it would be if the Lord of a thousand chariots should conduct himself lightly in the kingdom! If his conduct is light, he will fail as a Minister; If he is hasty in action, he will fail as a Ruler."
