The Old Philosopher's Canon of Reason and Virtue: 68. Complying With Heaven

1. He who excels as a warrior is not warlike. He who excels as a fighter is not wrathful. He who excels in conquering the enemy does not strive. He who excels in employing men is lowly. 2. This is called the virtue of not-striving. This is called utilizing men's p. 123 ability. This is called complying with heaven-since olden times the highest.
