Genuine Virtue

"Those who of old were good practisers of Tau, did not use it to make the people bright, but rather used it to make them simple. What makes people hard to govern is their having too much policy (wisdom). He who encourages this kind of policy (or wisdom) in the government of a kingdom is the robber of that kingdom; and he who governs a kingdom without it is a blessing to that kingdom. To know these two things is the very ideal of government; and a constant knowledge of this ideal I call sublime virtue. Sublime virtue is profound, is immense, is the reverse of everything else! It will bring about a state of universal freedom."
