If a country is governed with tolerance, the people are comfortable and genuine. If a country is governed with repression, the people are depressed, cunning, and deceptive. When the will to power is in charge, the higher the ideals, the lower the results. Try to make people happy, and you lay the groundwork for misery. Try to make people moral, and you lay the groundwork for vice. Be content to serve as an example, and not to impose your will. Be pointed, but don't pierce; strait-forward, but supple; radiant, but easy on the eyes. The government that governs least governs best. A wily government produces wily people, producing waste, corruption, pollution. Discontent breeds discontent. Competition, envy, struggle tends to deplete natural goodness, and increases the development of wily intelligence.
