"If the people do not dread power, There will be the appearance of great power. Do not restrict their living quarters. Do not disturb their livelihood.* Just because one does not annoy them,** He will not be annoyed by them.*3* Therefore, the Sage knows himself but does not display himself.*4* He loves himself but does not distinguish himself.*5* Therefore, he rejects that to prefer this."
