Capital is not needed.

I don't think this is a proverb.
Should "sensei" be capitalized?

I'm not sure what "decree" you are 
referring to. The original translation 
wasn't a proverb, and it's not a literal 
translation of the actual Japanese wording 
either but a literal translation of the 
meaning/explanation given in daijr.
