Wapon na tings wey mek trobul. Evriwan aks ifo am, so pesin wey sabi di rod e go avod am. Man wey get rispekt, e dey put pece bifo em; wehn e mus yuz wapon, e put am afta. Wapon na tings wey mek trobul. E nuh bi tings wey bondu man go yuz. Oons ifi e mus du am, du am wit kold erdt. Wen yu win, noh glori in am. Wen yu glori for win, yu sabi sey yu dey hapi wen pipul dy. Man wey hapi wen pipul dy, e nor go fit get wot e want for dis wol. Gud tings luv lef an, bad tings luv rit an. Jeneral wey giv orta sidun lef an, jeneral wey bigiboi sidun rit an. Di tory mek i bi laik funeral wey dey. Wen yu kil many pipul, mek yu sori an wit krai. Wen yu win, mek i bi laik mek i na funeral.

Dis chaptat rimemba mi sey even ifi mi nor dey fight wit odas, mi stil gat tu du wit trobul wey pipul mek. Mi sabi sey anger an vilens neva gud path. Mi wudenta be man wey hapi wen odas sofa.
Wetin I mas du tude?
Tide, ifi enitin mek mi waka angrish, mek mi no raf. Mek mi pik pis pat wey wi kalol an no mek mi go na wey wapon dey.
Now arms, however beautiful, are instruments of evil omen, hateful, it may be said, to all creatures. Therefore they who have the Tao do not like to employ them. The superior man ordinarily considers the left hand the most honourable place, but in time of war the right hand.
