《儉武》

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。
