Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends. Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness.
That so few understand me is why I am treasured.
Those who praise themselves do not prevail.
Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.
If people live in constant fear of death, and if breaking the law is punished by death, then who would dare?
Human being's essential nature is perfect and faultless.
