Wang Bi (226–249 CE)

James Legge (1891)

He whose boldness appears in his daring (to do wrong, in defiance of the laws) is put to death; he whose boldness appears in his not daring (to do so) lives on. It is the way of Heaven not to strive, and yet it skilfully overcomes; not to speak, and yet it is skilful in (obtaining) a reply. The meshes of the net of Heaven are large; far apart, but letting nothing escape.
