Summary
This quote suggests that governing or controlling those who are inherently good or comply with rules and expectations is an effortless task. When people are naturally inclined to be virtuous or follow societal norms, leadership and authority can easily maintain order and influence their behavior. Conversely, ruling over those who may be rebellious or less obedient becomes more challenging. The quote implies that the manageability of authority increases when people are morally upright and inherently cooperative.
