Tao Teh King
Chapter Fourty-nine

49. 1. The sage has no invariable mind of his own; he makes the mind of the 
people his mind.

2. 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.

3. 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.

CHAPTER XLIX
THE ADAPTABILITY OF THE TEH.

1. The wise man hath no fixed principle; he adapteth his mind to his 
environment.

2. To the good I am good, and to the evil I am good also; thus all become 
good. To the true I am true, and to the false I am true; thus all become 
true.

3. The sage appeareth hesitating to the world, because his mind is detached. 
Therefore the people look and listen to him, as his children; and thus doth 
he shepherd them.
