A Quote by Lao Tzu on ethics, war, tao te ching, soldier, and lao tzu

Verse 68 The Ethics of War

The best soldier fights

Without vengeance,

Without anger

And without hate.


He puts himself humbly

Below his comrades,

Thereby eliciting

The highest loyalty from them.


This is the power

Of non-belligerence

And cooperation.

It is the ancient path to the Great Integrity.
