CHINESE WISDOM.
The following is a rather nico Chinese proverb: "When the sword is dusty, the plough bright, the prisons empty, the granaries full, the steps of the temple are worn down and those of the law courts grass-grown, when doctors go afoot, the bakers on horseback, and men of drive their own carriages, then the Empire is well served."
