Tsze-lu / 11

子曰，善人为邦百年，亦可以胜残去杀矣，诚哉是言也。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：善人治理国家一百年，也就可以战胜残暴、废除刑杀了。这话说得真对啊！

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "'If good men were to govern a country in succession for a hundred years, they would be able to transform the violently bad, and dispense with capital punishments.' True indeed is this saying!"
