...凡人所当得的、就给他．当得粮的、给他纳粮．当得税的、给他上税．当惧怕的、惧怕他．当恭敬的、恭敬他。 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 凡事都不可亏欠人、惟有彼此相爱、要常以为亏欠．因为爱人的就完全了律法。
In earlier centuries, it was the custom for kings of Thailand to present those rivals whom they wished to overawe with one of their own white elephants.
