XX. On government: showing principally how it depends on the character of the officers administering it, and how that depends on the character of the sovereign himself.
Zhongyong XX. 3.
"With the right men the growth of government is rapid, just as vegetation is rapid in the earth; and, moreover, their government might be called an easily-growing rush.
Legge XX.3.
