There are three treasures which I prize above all things. 

The first is love,

The second is moderation,

The third is humility.

He who has love can be truly brave;

He who has moderation can have in abundance; 

He who has humility can truly have power. 

But now men want bravery, and not love;

They want abundance, and not moderation;

They want power, and not humility. 

         This is death.
