Fielding one's Right
"When terms are made after a great quarrel, there must be always a remaining grudge. To let matters rest will be found the best way. Therefore the sage takes care of his own part of the compact, and exacts nothing of others. The man of virtue attends only to his promises in the compact. The man without virtue attends only to his claims. The Tau of Heaven has no favourites (relations). It always gives to the good man."
