Don't Make Them Weary
"When people do not dread authorities, Then a greater dread descends. Do not crowd their dwellings. Do not make them weary at their work. If you do not make them weary, They will not be weary of you. Therefore, the sage knows himself, But does not parade. He cherishes himself, But does not praise himself. He discards the one, And chooses the other."

Therefore, the sage knows himself, But does not parade. He cherishes himself, But does not praise himself. He discards the one, And chooses the other."
