Chapter 68
第六十八章
He who in (Tao's) wars has skill
善為士者，
Assumes no martial port;
不武；
He who fights with most good will
善戰者，
To rage makes no resort.
不怒；
He who vanquishes yet still
善勝敵者，
Keeps from his foes apart;
不與；
He whose hests men most fulfil
善用人者，
Yet humbly plies his art.
為之下。
Thus we say, 'He ne'er contends, And therein is his might.'
是謂不爭之德，
Thus we say, 'Men's wills he bends, That they with him unite.'
是謂用人之力，
Thus we say, 'Like Heaven's his ends, No sage of old more bright.'
是謂配天古之極。
