The 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.
Fail to honor people, and they
will fail to honor you.
But of a good leader, who speaks
little
When his work is done, his aim
fulfilled,
The people say, 'We did it
ourselves.'
