Without going out of your door,
You can know the ways of the world.
Without peeping through your window,
You can see the way of heaven.
The farther you go,
The less you know.
Thus, the sage knows without travelling,
Sees without looking,
And achieves without ado.

Chapter 47, Tao Teh Ching.

If one does not first no one's self, can the rest of the world be fully understood?

"A world is supported by four things:
The Learning of the Wise,
The Justice of the Great,
The Prayers of the Righteous,
And the Valor of the Brave....

But all of this is as nothing... without a Ruler who knows the art of Ruling!" -- Also Frank Herbert

Reason and Respect in all you say and do,
