"IN governing a people and in serving Heaven, There is nothing like frugality. To be frugal is to return before straying. To return before straying is to have a double reserve of virtue. To have a double reserve of virtue is to overcome everything. To overcome everything is to reach an invisible height. Only he who has reached an invisible height can have a kingdom. Only he who has got the Mother of a kingdom can last long. This is the way to be deep-rooted and firm-planted in the Tao, The secret of long life and lasting vision."
