The Virtue of Weight

"The heavy is the root of the light. The still is the ruler of the moving. Therefore the superior man, in his daily course, never departs from quietude and gravity. Though he possess gorgeous palaces, he dwells calmly at a distance from them. Woe is me! that a ruler with ten thousand chariots should conduct himself with levity in the empire! By levity he loses his ministers, and by restlessness he loses his throne."
