From here:
Where liberal philosophers [like those who founded the U.S.] build systems to restrain the power of potentially vicious rulers with strict procedures, theorists of virtue politics [as in China] elevate the selection of rulers over the restriction of their power.
...
And from Confucius: "The inferior man thinks only of comfort. The superior man thinks only of virtue."
