The king is for repelling oppressors, the police chief is for bloodthirsty ones, and the judge is for dealing with crafty swindlers. Two adversaries who are both satisfied with justice never go before a judge.

When you know for certain that justice must be given,

With kindness is better than with combat and resentment.

If someone does not pay the tax willingly,

They will take it from him by force, along with the reward of the chieftain.
