"Heaviness is the foundation of lightness. Serenity is the lord of rashness.* Therefore the Sage who travels the whole day never leaves his heavily covered carts.** Though there are spectacles of splendor, he stays composed and aloof.*3* Why as a ruler of ten thousand chariots would he treat himself lightly in the world? Lightness will lose the foundation.*4* Rashness will lose the lord.*5*"
