"Do you want to lead one day? Then first learn how to follow." Game of thrones. George R.R. Martin.

“To govern (simply) by statute, and to reduce all to order by means of pains and penalties, is to render the people evasive, and devoid of any sense of shame. To govern upon principles of virtue, and to reduce them to order the Rules of Property, would not only create in them the sense of shame, but would moreover reach them in all their errors.” II.3. The Confucian Analects.
