"In governing people and serving Heaven, There is nothing like conservation. For to conserve Means to be prepared early. To be prepared early means ample accumulation of De. Ample accumulation of De means being invincible. An invincible power knows no limit. With power that knows no limit, one can govern the state. With the Mother as the guardian, the state can last long. That is called deep roots and solid foundation. And that is the way to long life and lasting existence."
