"If people do not fear the awesome, something more awful is imminent. But do not be disrespectful of their dwellings. If not oppressed, they will not press. That is why the Sage knows himself but does not reveal himself. He has self-respect, but does not seek recognition. Hence, he rejects one and takes the other."
