      30. Violence

      Powerful men are well advised not to use violence,

      For violence has a habit of returning;

      Thorns and weeds grow wherever an army goes,

      And lean years follow a great war.

      A general is well advised

      To achieve nothing more than his orders:

      Not to take advantage of his victory.

      Nor to glory, boast or pride himself;

      To do what is dictated by necessity,

      But not by choice.

      For even the strongest force will weaken with time;

      Then its violence will return, and kill it.
