""When great hostilities are smoothed over there is always some hostility left." How could this be considered good? And so the Wise Person: "Keeps hold of the left-hand contract tally, and doesn't make demands on others." One who has Te is concerned with fulfilling his contract one who does not have Te concerns himself with collecting his due. Heaven's Way: Not to have personal favourites, but to be invariably good to all."

"A* nagy elégedetlenség megbékítése (he 和) mindig tápot ad újabb elégedetlenségre. Hogyan lehetne (ezt) jónak tartani! Ezért a bölcs ember (shengren 聖人) kezében tartja a baloldali rovásokat <jogainak bizonylatát>, de sohasem terheli meg (követelésével) az embereket. A de birtoklása: rovásokkal <kötelezvényekkel> rendelkezni; a de hiánya pedig: adókkal (che 徹) rendelkezni <be is hajtani a követelést>. Az ég <természeti> daonak nincs rokonsága <nem részrehajló>, hanem mindig a jó ember pártján áll."
"Большая ненависть, когда ее смягчают, лишь делается затаенной. Как может это приводить к добру? Именно поэтому Премудрый человек дает по соглашению взаймы и, владея левой половиной бирки, счета никому не предъявляет. В ком добродетель, тот заботится о соглашении, в ком ее нет, следит за тем, чтобы взыскать. Дао Небес не ведает пристрастия и неизменно помогает добрым людям."
