📜 Ondot Hila (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
Wang Bi (226–249 CE)
天下柔弱莫过于水，而攻坚强者莫之能胜，以其无以易之也。弱之胜强，柔之胜刚，天下莫不知，莫能行。
James Legge (1891)
There is nothing in the world more soft and weak than water, and yet for attacking things that are firm and strong there is nothing that can take precedence of it—for there is nothing (so effectual) for which it can be changed. Every one in the world knows that the soft overcomes the hard, and the weak the strong, but no one is able to carry it out in practice.
