Laozi said: The highest sage follows Heaven; the next level values virtuous men, and the lowest entrusts to ministers. To entrust to ministers is the way of danger and destruction. To value virtuous men is the source of foolishness and confusion. To follow Heaven is the principle for governing heaven and earth. Emptiness and stillness are the kings; emptiness accepts nothing but holds all, stillness supports everything without effort. He who knows the Way of emptiness and stillness can govern from beginning to end. Therefore, sages use stillness as governance and movement as disorder. Hence it is said: Do not disturb or entangle, and all things will naturally become clear; do not startle or alarm, and all things will regulate themselves. This is called the Way of Heaven.
