Heaven is eternal and Earth everlasting. They can be eternal and everlasting because they do not exist for themselves, And for this reason can exist forever.
LaoziIn the highest antiquity, the people did not know that there were rulers. In the next age they loved them and praised them. In the next they feared them; in the next they despised them.
LaoziA good manager is best when people barely know that he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despise him.
Laozi
