老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 17. Rulers

作者：《Lao Tze》李耳

• The best rulers are scarcely known by their subjects;
  The next best are loved and praised;
  The next are feared;
  The next despised:
  They have no faith in their people,
  And their people become unfaithful to them.
  
  When the best rulers achieve their purpose
  Their subjects claim the achievement as their own.
