"In reconciling a great injury (yüan), There is sure to have some injury left. How can this be good? Therefore the sage holds the left tally, He does not blame others. One who has te is in charge of the tally, One who has no te is in charge of the tax law. The Tao of heaven has no partiality (ch'in), It is always with the good people."
