Mencius said: a small country is wise and a big country is benevolent.

From the fourth lesson of Mencius (the third section of Liang Pian): Q: "Is there a way to make friends with neighboring countries?" Mencius said to him, "Yes. Only the benevolent can roll with the punches, so soup is Ge's business, and King Wen is Kun Yi's business; Only a wise man can make small things big, so the king does small things and practices every word. Those who are big and small are also happy; People who take small things seriously are also afraid of the sky. Happy people protect the world, and those who fear the sky protect their country. A poem says,' fear the power of heaven and protect it at the right time.
