"When the people are not in awe of your majesty then great majesty has been achieved. Do not restrict where they can live do not tire them out by taxing what they live on. Simply do not tire them and they will not tire of you. And so, the Wise Person: Knows himself does not make a show of himself. Loves himself does not exalt himself. Yes, he leaves 'that' aside, and attends to 'this.'"
