*Great power, not clinging to power, has true power. Lesser power, clinging to power, lacks true power. Great power, doing nothing, has nothing to do. Lesser power, doing nothing, has an end in view.
*'''m̃a̋kom gűxanto ne me̋żo m̃a̋ko m̃e̋e̋ro m̃a̋kom űda: m̃a̋kom gűxanto lı̋so m̃a̋ko m̃e̋e̋ro m̃a̋kom e̋ga: néom kı̋anto me̋żo m̃a̋ko néom kı̋u o űða: néom kı̋anto lı̋so m̃a̋ko noora̋s éna se̋e̋iðram űða:'''

*The good the truly good do has no end in view. The right the very righteous do has an end in view. And those who act in true obedience to law roll up their sleeves and make the disobedient obey.

*So: when we lose the Way we fiind power; losing power we fiind goodness; losing goodness we find righteousness; losing righteousness we're left with obedience.

*Obedience to law is the dry husk of loyalty and good faith. Opinion is the barren flower of the Way, the beginning of ignorance.

*So great-minded people abide in the kernel not the husk, on the fruit not the flower, letting the one go, keeping the other.
