A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself; the more he gives to others, the more he gets himself.
Laozi

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.
