The highest type of ruler is one of whole existence the people are barely aware.
Next comes one whom they love and praise.
Next comes one whom they fear.
Next comes one whom they despise and defy.
When you are lacking in faith,
Others will be unfaithful to you.
The sage is self effacing and scanty of words.
When his task is accomplished and things have been completed,
All the people say, "We ourselves achieved it!"

Chapter 17, Tao Te Ching.
