Quote #40 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Coercion
“The gods of the land do not inflict injury upon the inhabitants; nor do those which belong to other lands.
The Sage, also, inflicts no injury on his subjects; neither he nor they injure each other, so that the virtue of both unites and converges in one direction, of the Tao.”
