We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
60 Do, But Never Overdo Rule a great state as you cook a small fish: do not overdo it! Rule with Tao and evil departs. Evil will still have power, but it will not harm the people. Then not only does evil cease to do harm, the ruler also ceases to do harm, and therefore both possess Teh. -- tr. C. Ganson
