One day Huang Sanku, a Confucian scholar asked
Hui-tang Tsu-hsin (1025-1100), one of the well known

Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water,
Yet nothing can better overcome the hard and strong,

Who attends to the people would control the land and grain;
Who attends to the state would control the whole world;
Truth is easily hidden by rhetoric. End of TAO TE CHING - Chapter 78. YieldingT.o.C .
