49道德經:
聖人無常心,以百姓心為心。
善者,吾善之;不善者,吾亦善之;德善。
信者,吾信之;不信者,吾亦信之;德信。
聖人在天下,歙歙為天下渾其心,百姓皆注其耳目,聖人皆孩之。
Dao De Jing:
(The quality of indulgence)
The sage has no invariable mind of his own; 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.
The sage has in the world 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, and he deals with them all as his children.

49.
The seer doesn't own a thought
For thoughts do not reside within
Thoughts concern ten thousand things
And that's the way it's always been
The seer doesn't rush to judge
And treats all people well
Considers no one bad or good
Attracts but never does repel
The seer trusts things as they are
And takes all people at their word
Giving trust to everyone
Knows faithfulness will be returned
The seer turns your view around
So you can never be beguiled
And gives you back all that you lost
The vision of a little child
