A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
LaoziWhoever is planted in the Tao will not be rooted up. Whoever embraces the Tao will not slip away. Her name will be held in honor from generation to generation. Let the Tao be present in your life and you will become genuine. Let it be present in your family and your family will flourish. Let it be present in your country and your country will be an example to all countries in the world. Let it be present in the universe and the universe will sing. How do I know this is true? By looking inside myself.
LaoziThe truly wise are content to be last. They are, therefore, first. They are indifferent to themselves. They are, therefore self-confident.
Laozi
