“Lead the people with administrative injunctions and put them in their place with strict law, and they will avoid punishments but will be without a sense of
shame. Lead them with excellence and put them in their place through roles
and ritual practices, and in addition to developing a sense of shame, they
will order themselves harmoniously.”
