We Did It Ourselves

Stone sculpture of Lao Tsu
located north of Quanzhou at the foot of Mount Qingyuan

“To lead people, walk beside them. As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence … When the best leader’s work is done, the people say, ‘We did it ourselves!'”

– Lao Tsu, Chinese philosopher
