弱之胜强，柔之胜刚，天下莫不知莫能行。
That the yielding conquers the resistant and the soft conquers the hard is a fact known by all men, yet utilized by none.
是以圣人云﹕“受国之垢，是谓社稷主；受国不祥，是为天下王。”
Yet it is in reference to this that the Sage said “only he who has accepted the dirt of the country can be lord of its soil shrines; only he who takes upon himself the evils of the country Can become a king among those what dwell under heaven.”
