Additional quotes by Han Fei

The way is the beginning of all beings and the measure of right and wrong.

From your place of darkness observe the defects of others. See but do not appear to see; listen but do not seem to listen; know but do not let it be known that you know. When you perceive the trend of a man's words, do not change them, do not correct them, but examine them and compare them with the results.

The Law(道, Way) is Huge and Shapeless, its Moral extends everywhere.
