The person must come before the system. If the person is good and the system is good, [the governance] will be good; if the person is good, but the system is rotten, the person must undertake corrections. If the person is bad, but the system is good, sooner or later the system will suffer. If both the person and the system are bad, ruin will certainly follow." | |||
