The sage has no mind of his own.

He is aware of the needs of others.

 

I am good to people who are good.

I am also good to people who are not good.

Because Virtue is goodness,

I have faith in people who are faithful.

I also have faith in people who are not faithful.

Because Virture is faithfulness.

 

The sage is shy and humble -

to the world he seems confusing.

Men look to him and listen.

He behaves like a little child.

 

- Lao-tzu
