Tao-Chia - The philosophy of the Way: To Govern the Human and Serve the Divine

To govern the human and serve the divine, nothing compares to frugality.

Only frugality brings early recovery; early recovery means buildup of power.

Build up virtue, and you master all.

When you master all, no one knows your limit.

When no one knows your limit, you can maintain a nation.

When you maintain the matrix of a nation, you can last long.

This is called making the root deep and the basis firm, the Way of long life and eternal vision.
