Wen Tzu - Verse 108, Part VI

from Verse One Hundred Eight

To have many abilities means to be competent in both culture and defense, and to do precisely what is right in terms of your conduct in action and repose, in what you take up and what you put aside, what you dispense with and what you set up.

~ Wen-tzu: Understanding the Mysteries ~
