Tao # 17 / Government
Ф
Good Government is not intrusive
the people are hardly aware of it
the next best is felt yet loved
then comes that which is known and feared
the worst government is hated
when a leader lacks trust
people lose confidence
words are like wind
a gentle breeze is better
less is more
Good work is that
which the people lay claim to
saying "See what we can do!"
