When a country grows powerful, it becomes like the ocean; all streams run downwards towards it. It is a powerful country because it is a humble one; it sets itself lower than its surroundings. It remains powerful only for as long as its humility endures.
A great nation is like a great man; when it makes a mistake, it recognizes it. Recognition leads to admission; admission leads to correction. It heeds as most valuable, those who point to its shortcomings, and regards enemies as the consequences of its failings.
If a country remains connected to Reality, caring for its own people, not meddling in the affairs of others, that country will be a light to all the nations of the World.

When a woman grows powerful, she becomes like the ocean; all streams run downwards towards her. She is powerful because she is humble; she sets herself lower than her surroundings. She remains powerful only for as long as her humility endures.
