Tao te Ching
72 When people do not respect the authority, There shall be great misfortune. Do not interfere with the people’s livelihood. Do not despise their living. Because there is no detest against the people, Therefore the people do not detest against the authority. The saint realizes his true nature and hence Does not distinguish himself. He has a sense of self-respect and thus does not exalt himself. Therefore, he rejects those that are self-distinguished and self-exalted. And abides by these that are self-awareness and self-respect.
