To quote from Wiktionary:

夫有以饐死者,欲禁天下之食,悖;有以乘舟死者,欲禁天下之船,悖;有以用兵喪其國者,欲偃天下之兵,悖。

It is nonsense to forbid the world’s people to eat just because one person has choked to death when eating; it is nonsense to put the world's boats in disuse just because someone has drowned while sailing; it is also nonsense to eliminate the world's military forces just because one sovereign has lost his state due to his military action
