Water over fire. Take thought of misfortune and arm yourself against it in advance. When water in a kettle hangs over fire, the two elements stand in relation and generate energy. But the resulting tension demands caution. If the water boils over, the fire is extinguished and its energy lost. If the heat is too great, the water evaporates. These elements brought into relation are by nature hostile to each other. Only the most extreme caution can prevent damage. In life too there are junctures when all forces are in balance and everything seems in the best of order. In such times only the sage recognizes the moments that bode danger and knows how to banish it by means of timely precautions.

The territory won at such bitter cost must not be regarded as an almshouse for people who have made themselves impossible at home.
