Tao Te Ching - 49
The master is not fixed in his mind,
He is open to others' minds:
He treats the kind with kindness,
He treats the unkind with kindness;
Thus kindness is attained.
He trusts the trustworthy,
He trusts the untrustworthy;
Thus trustworthiness is attained.
The world is complex,
He keeps his mind simple.
Most people are absorbed in what they hear and see,
But the master keeps his mind pure.
