“Do you want to control the world?  It can’t be done.  The world is sacred.  It can’t be improved.  If you try to improve it, you’ll ruin it.  If you try to grasp it, you’ll lose it.  There is a time to lead, and a time to follow; a time to speak, and a time to be silent; a time to act, and a time to rest; a time of being safe, and a time of danger.  Therefore, the Master holds on to the center, avoiding extremes, excess, and complacency.”

-Tao Te Ching 29
