Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 30
以道佐人主者，不以兵強天下。 其事好還。 師之所處，荊棘生焉。 大軍之後，必有凶年。 善有果而已，不敢以取強。 果而勿矜，果而勿伐，果而勿驕。 果而不得已，果而勿強。 物壯則老，是謂不道，不道早已。 He who by Tao purposes to help the ruler of men Will oppose all conquest by force of arms. For such things are wont to rebound. Where armies are, thorns and brambles grow. The raising of a great host Is followed by a year of dearth. Therefore …

The Sage is unkind: (The sage is not sentimental) He treats the people like sacrificial straw-dogs. How the universe is like a bellows! Empty, yet it gives a supply that never fails; The more it …
Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 3
不尚賢，使民不爭； 不貴難得之貨，使民不為盜； 不見可欲，使心不亂。 是以聖人之治，虛其心，實其腹，弱其志，強其骨。 常使民無知無欲。使夫知者不敢為也。為無為，則無不治。 Exalt not the wise, So that the people shall not scheme and contend; Prize not rare objects, So that the people shall not steal; Shut out from sight the things of desire, So that the people’s hearts shall not be disturbed. Therefore in the government of the Sage: He keeps …
