Laozi
The best leaders are those their people hardly know exist. The next best is a leader who is loved and praised. Next comes the one who is feared. The worst one is the leader that is despised ... The best leaders value their words, and use them sparingly. When they have accomplished their task, the people say, Amazing! We did it, all by ourselves!
Laozi
Harmony is called the eternal. Knowing the eternal is called clarity.
Laozi
By moderation one can be generous.
Laozi
