Peaceful Warriors

"Excellent warriors are not violent. Excellent soldiers are not furious. Excellent conquerors do not engage. Excellent leaders of people lower themselves. This is called the virtue of no strife. This is called the use of people's capacity. This is called the union with Heaven. It is the perfection of the ancients."
