A leader is best,

When people are hardly aware of his existence,

Not so good when people praise his government,

Less good when people stand in fear,

Worst, when people are contemptuous.

If you fail to honour people they will fail to honour you.

But a good leader, is who speaks little,

When his task is accomplished, his work done,

And the people say, ‘We did it ourselves!’ – Leo Tsze (7th century B.C.)
