"(To requite injuries with good deeds.) To allay the main discontent, But only in a manner that will certainly produce further discontents can hardly be called successful. Therefore the Sage behaves like the holder of the left-hand tally, Who stays where he is and does not go round making claims on people. For he who has the “power” of Tao is the Grand Almoner; He who has not the “power” is the Grand Perquisitor. “It is Heaven's way, without distinction of persons, To keep the good perpetually supplied.”"
