"Compromising with great hatred inevitably leads to more hatred. How can this be considered good? That is why the Sage holds the left half of the tally-stick yet does not demand others measure up. To have Te is to hold the other half of the tally-stick. To be without Te is to lose the tally-stick. The Tao of heaven is not clannish. It always dwell with the good man."

Hungarian

"Ha a nagy elégedetlenséget orvosolják, okot adnak az újabb elégedetlenségre… Az emberek mindig a másikat okolják, s ennek az ég alattiban sosem lesz vége! Ezt nem a jó megoldások közé sorolják…* A bölcs bal kezében jótéteményeinek sora, de társait igényeivel nem terheli soha. Az erény birtoklása szolgálatot tenni, az erény hiánya adókat kivetni. Az ég törvénye nincs tekintettel rokonra, mindig a jó emberre van gondja."
