Du Mu (Tu Mu) 803-852 CE
From the immortal commentaries of the prominent late Tang Dynasty (618-906 CE) poet, essayist, calligrapher, and painter:
“The Way means humaneness and justice. In ancient times a famous minister of state asked a political philosopher about military matters. The philosopher said, ‘Humaneness and justice are the means by which to govern properly. When government is carried out properly, people feel close to leadership and think little of dying for it.’ ”
