"One who makes a good general is not warlike;* One who makes a good fighter is not angry;** One who makes a great conqueror of his enemies does not strive;*3* One who knows how to manage the people well places himself under them. This is called the virtue of not competing. This is called the power of using people.*4* This is called the match of Heaven, the ultimate of the Ancients."
