Laozi's Dao De Jing 31-35 (老子道德經 31-35)

Author: Laozi (老子); translated by James Legge

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.

第三十一章
夫佳兵者,不祥之器,物或惡之,故有道者不處。君子居則貴左,用兵則 貴右。兵者不祥之器,非君子之器,不得已而用之,恬淡為上。勝而不美 ,而美之者,是樂殺人。夫樂殺人者,則不可得志于天下矣。吉事尚左, 凶事尚右。偏將軍居左,上將軍居右,言以喪禮處之。殺人之眾,以悲哀 泣之,戰勝以喪禮處之。
