"The Sage is without a set mind. He makes the mind of the people his own. I am kind. I am also kind to the unkind. Thus kindness is attained. I believe those who believe. I believe also those who do not believe. Thus faith is attained. The Sage, when in the midst of the worldly, does it calmly and slowly, and his mind merges with the world. The Sage treats everyone as his children."

"A bölcs nem törődik a saját szívével, a többi ember szívével lát és érzékel.* Én a jókkal, s a gonoszokkal is jól bánok, ezáltal nyerem el a valódi jóságot. Egyaránt hiszek a megbízhatónak, s a hazugnak, bizalmat adni nekem, ezáltal tudnak. A bölcs az ég alattiban óvatosnak látszik, az ég alattiért együgyűséget játszik.** Míg mindenki feszülten figyel az érzékeivel, ő csecsemőként reagál az ösztöneivel."
