📜 Bonisa izaguqulelo (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
James Legge (1891)
A state may be ruled by (measures of) correction; weapons of war may be used with crafty dexterity; (but) the kingdom is made one's own (only) by freedom from action and purpose. Therefore a sage has said, 'I will do nothing (of purpose), and the people will be transformed of themselves.'
