"A man with courage and daring is slain, A man with courage and self-restraint lives. Of these two, the one has benefit, the other has injury. Who can tell why one of them should incur Heaven's Wrath? Because of this the self-controlled man has doubt and difficulty. Heavenly Tao strives not, but conquers by love; It speaks not, but responds in Love; It calls not to men, but of themselves they come; It slowly is made manifest, yet its plans are laid in Love. The net of Heaven is widely meshed; the meshes are far apart, yet nothing escapes from it."
