"The sage has no set mind (ch'ang hsin), He takes the mind of the people as his mind. The good (shan) I am good to them, The not good I am also good to them. This is the goodness of nature (te). The trustworthy (hsin) I trust them, The not trustworthy I also trust them. This is the trust of nature (te). The sage in the world, Mixes (hun) the minds (hsin) of all. The people lift up their eyes and ears, The sage treats them all like children."
