"A great nation flows downward into intercourse with the world. The female of the world always prevails over the male by stillness. Because stillness is considered lower, by lowering itself to a small nation a great nation takes a small nation; by being lower than a great nation a small nation takesa gret nation. So one takes by lowering itself, another takes place by being lower. A great nation wants no more than to include and nurture people; a small nation ants no more than to admit and serve people. Both get what they want, so the great should be below."
