Daoism -> Dao De Jing -> 49

(The quality of indulgence)
聖人The sage has no invariable mind of his own;
百姓 he makes the mind of the people his mind.
To those who are good (to me),
I am good;
and to those who are not good (to me),
I am also good;
- and thus (all) get to be good.
To those who are sincere (with me),
I am sincere;
and to those who are not sincere (with me),
I am also sincere;
- and thus (all) get to be sincere.
聖人天下The sage has in the world
天下an appearance of indecision, and keeps his mind in a state of indifference to all.
The people all keep their eyes and ears directed to him,
聖人 and he deals with them all as his children.
