“When life begins we are tender and weak When life ends we are stiff and rigid All things, including the grass and trees, are soft and pliable in life and dry in brittle in death So the soft and supple are the companion of life While the stiff and unyielding are the companions of death An army that cannot yield will be defeated A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind Thus by Nature's own decree the hard and strong are defeated while the soft and gentle are triumphant”
“When armies are mobilized and issues joined, the man who is sorry over the fact will always win.”
“When equal armies battle, the grieving one will be victorious.”
“The unyielding army will not win.”
“Thorn bushes grow where armies have camped.”

“Do not conquer the world with force, for force only causes resistance. Thorns spring up when an army passes. Years of misery follow a great victory. Do only what needs to be done without using violence.”
“Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle. A tree that is unbending is easily broken.”
