And great deeds are often appropriated;
Therefore, when a man falls, do not abandon him,
And when a man gains power, do not honour him;
Only remain impartial and show him the Way.

The ancients said, "By it, those who seek may easily find,
And those who regret may easily absolve"
So it is the most precious gift.
