When the government is quite unobtrusive, people are indeed pure. When the government is quite prying, people are indeed conniving.

By not claiming to be first in the world one can rule.

To lead, one must follow.

New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

Complete your task. Seek no reward. Make no claims. Without faltering fully choose to do what you must do.

He who does not trust enough will not be trusted.

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.
