30 道德經:
以道佐人主者,不以兵強天下。其事好還。師之所處,荊棘生焉。大軍之後,必有凶年。善有果而已,不敢以取強。果而勿矜,果而勿伐,果而勿驕。果而不得已,果而勿強。物壯則老,是謂不道,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 儉武:
以道佐人主者,謂人主能以道自輔佐也。不以兵強天下。以道自佐之主,不以兵革,順天任德,敵人自服。其事好還。其舉事好還自責,不怨於人也。師之所處,荊棘生焉。農事廢,田不修。大軍之後,必有凶年。天應之以惡氣,即害五穀,盡傷人也。善有果而已,善用兵者,當果敢而已,不美之。不敢以取強。不以果敢取強大之名也。果而勿矜當果敢謙卑,勿自矜大也。果而勿伐,當果敢推讓,勿自伐取其美也。果而勿驕,驕,欺也。果敢勿以驕欺人。果而不得已,當過果敢至誠,不當逼迫不得已也。果而勿強果敢勿以為強兵、堅甲以欺凌人也。物壯則老,草木壯極則枯落,人壯極則衰老也。言強者不可以久。是謂不道。枯老者,坐不行道也。不道早已。不行道者早死。

11 嚴朱吾丘... :
持久,士卒勞倦,越乃出擊之。秦兵大破,乃發適戍以備之。當此之時,外內騷動,百姓靡敝,行者不還,往者果反,皆不聊生,亡逃相從,群為盜賊,於是山東之難始興。此老子所謂「師之所處,荊棘生之」者也。兵者凶事,一方有急,四面皆從。臣恐變故之生,姦邪之作,由此始也。《周易》曰:「高宗伐鬼方,三年而克之。」鬼方,小蠻夷;高宗,殷之盛天子也。以盛天子伐小蠻夷,三年而後克,言用兵之不可不重也。

《老子》曰:師之所處,荊棘生焉。大軍之後,必有凶年。
又曰:兵者,不祥之器,非君子之器,不得已而用之。
又曰:是以君子居則貴左,故吉事尚左,喪事居右。是以偏將軍處左,上將軍處右。戰勝,以喪禮處之也。
又曰:善為士者不武,善戰者不怒。
又曰:天下有道,卻走馬以糞;天下無道,戎馬生於郊。
又曰:以政治國,以奇用兵。
