"With the most excellent rulers, their subjects only know that they are there, The next best are the rulers they love and praise, Next are the rulers they hold in awe, And the worst are the rulers they disparage. Where there is a lack of credibility, There is a lack of trust. Vigilant, they are careful in what they say. With all things accomplished and the work complete The common people say, “We are spontaneously like this.”"
