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.
LaoziThe Tao never does anything, yet through it all things are done. If powerful men and women could venter themselves in it, the whole world would be transformed by itself, in its natural rhythms. People would be content with their simple, everyday lives, in harmony, and free of desire. When there is no desire, all things are at peace.
Laozi
