"A leader is best when people scarcely know he exists. Not so good when they kindly obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despise him.
Fail to honour people, they fail to honour you. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done and his aim fulfilled, they will say: ‘We did this ourselves."


- Lao-Tzu (c. 550 B.C.-)

Lao-Tzu

Lao Tzu was a mystic philosopher of ancient China, best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching. His association with the Tao Te Ching has led him to be traditionally considered the founder of Taoism (pronounced as "Daoism").

He was one of the first philosophers to create an active learning philosophy when he wrote: 'If you tell me, I will listen. If you show me, I will see. But if you let me experience, I will learn.'
