“How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?
He who would assist a leader of men in harmony with the unvarying way will not advise mastery by force of arms. Such a course is sure to bring retribution. To consider this desirable would be to delight in the slaughter of men; and he who delights in the slaughter of men cannot get his will in the world.”
Lao Tzu
