"A good captain does not exhibit his martial prowess. A good warrior does not get himself angry. A good conqueror of enemies does not instigate a combat. A good employer of people puts himself below them. This is called the power (te) of non-contention. This is called using the strength of others. This is called perfection (chi) in matching the heaven of old."
