30 道德经:
以道佐人主者,不以兵强天下。其事好还。师之所处,荆棘生焉。大军之后,必有凶年。善有果而已,不敢以取强。果而勿矜,果而勿伐,果而勿骄。果而不得已,果而勿强。物壮则老,是谓不道,不道早已。
Dao De Jing:
(A caveat against war)
He who would assist a lord of men in harmony with the Dao will not assert his mastery in the kingdom by force of arms. Such a course is sure to meet with its proper return.
Wherever a host is stationed, briars and thorns spring up. In the sequence of great armies there are sure to be bad years.
A skilful (commander) strikes a decisive blow, and stops. He does not dare (by continuing his operations) to assert and complete his mastery. He will strike the blow, but will be on his guard against being vain or boastful or arrogant in consequence of it. He strikes it as a matter of necessity; he strikes it, but not from a wish for mastery.
When things have attained their strong maturity they become old. This may be said to be not in accordance with the Dao: and what is not in accordance with it soon comes to an end.

1 俭武:
以道佐人主者,谓人主能以道自辅佐也。不以兵强天下。以道自佐之主,不以兵革,顺天任德,敌人自服。其事好还。其举事好还自责,不怨于人也。师之所处,荆棘生焉。农事废,田不修。大军之后,必有凶年。天应之以恶气,即害五谷,尽伤人也。善有果而已,善用兵者,当果敢而已,不美之。不敢以取强。不以果敢取强大之名也。果而勿矜当果敢谦卑,勿自矜大也。果而勿伐,当果敢推让,勿自伐取其美也。果而勿骄,骄,欺也。果敢勿以骄欺人。果而不得已,当过果敢至诚,不当逼迫不得已也。果而勿强果敢勿以为强兵、坚甲以欺凌人也。物壮则老,草木壮极则枯落,人壮极则衰老也。言强者不可以久。是谓不道。枯老者,坐不行道也。不道早已。不行道者早死。

11 严朱吾丘... :
持久,士卒劳倦,越乃出击之。秦兵大破,乃发适戍以备之。当此之时,外内骚动,百姓靡敝,行者不还,往者果反,皆不聊生,亡逃相从,群为盗贼,于是山东之难始兴。此老子所谓“师之所处,荆棘生之”者也。兵者凶事,一方有急,四面皆从。臣恐变故之生,奸邪之作,由此始也。《周易》曰:“高宗伐鬼方,三年而克之。”鬼方,小蛮夷;高宗,殷之盛天子也。以盛天子伐小蛮夷,三年而后克,言用兵之不可不重也。

又曰:兵者,不祥之器,非君子之器,不得已而用之。
又曰:是以君子居则贵左,故吉事尚左,丧事居右。是以偏将军处左,上将军处右。战胜,以丧礼处之也。
又曰:善为士者不武,善战者不怒。
又曰:天下有道,却走马以粪;天下无道,戎马生于郊。
又曰:以政治国,以奇用兵。
