“Those who guide their leader by the Way
Will not urge war to dominate the world,
For such a course is bound to haunt is taker.
Fields where armies camp grow thorns and weeds,
And plague and famine follow every war.
With the fruits of victory desist;
Never seek to break a beaten foe,
And flaunt no prowess with the victory,
Assert no strength, show no pride;
Be a victor against your will,
A victor who will not dominate.
“Beware old age in pride of manly might”:
This warns to work not against the Way.
“Work against the Way, die before your day.”
– Moss Roberts
-Tao Te Ching
