“Following the rules didn't make you a good person, just like breaking them didn't make you a bad one, but it could make you an invisible person, and invisible people got to do as they liked.”

“It's best to be like water,
nurturing the ten thousand things
without competing,
flowing into places people scorn,
very like the Tao.
Make the earth a dwelling place.
Cultivate the heart and mind.
Practice benevolence.
Stand by your word.
Govern with equity.
Serve skillfully.
Act in a timely way,
without contentiousness,
free of blame.”
― Tao Te Ching
