Tol Eressëa "The Lonely Isle"

Man's inclination toward goodness is like the tendency of water to flow
downward. There is nothing but goodness, just as water always flows downward.
人之性善也，猶水之就下也。人無有不善，水無有不下。

Merely to provide something for the virtuous men to rely upon and the evil-
minded to be afraid of.
不肖者猶知忌憚，而賢者有所依歸。

My government is in the hand of Ning family; and here I am, left to attend
to ceremonies!
政由寧氏，祭則寡人。
