"A good soldier is never agressive,
A good fighter is never angry,
The best way of conquering an enemy
Is to win him over by not antagonizing him.
The best way to employ a man,
Is to serve under him."
"Heaven lasts long, and Earth abides.
What is the secret of their durability?
Is it not because they do not live for themselves,
That they can live so long?
Therefore the Sage wants to remain behind,
But finds himself at the head of others;
Reckons himself out,
But finds himself safe and secure.
Is it not because he is selfless,
That his self is realized?"
