When the Mods govern, the people are hardly aware that they exist. Next best is a mod who is loved. Next, one who is feared. The worst is one who is despised. If you don’t trust the people, you make them untrustworthy. The Mods don’t talk, they act. When their work is done, the people say, “Amazing: we did it, all by ourselves!” (translation by "Stephen Mitchell", 1995)
