ភាពទន់ខ្សោយ ឈ្នះភាពរឹងខ្លាំង ។ ត្រី មិនអាចចេញពីទឹកជ្រៅ បានទេ ។ ឧបករណ៍ដ៏មុតស្រួច របស់ប្រទេស មិនគួរបង្ហាញដល់មនុស្ស ឡើយ ។
(Translation: What wants to contract must first expand. What wants to weaken must first strengthen. What wants to abolish must first flourish. What wants to take must first give. This is called subtle wisdom. The soft and weak overcome the hard and strong. Fish cannot leave deep waters. The nation's sharp tools must not be shown to people.)
When one is about to take an inspiration, he is sure to make a (previous) expiration; when he is going to weaken another, he will first strengthen him; when he is going to overthrow another, he will first have raised him up; when he is going to despoil another, he will first have made gifts to him. The soft overcomes the hard; and the weak the strong.
