The sage does not distinguish

between himself and the world;
The needs of other people are as his own.

He is good to those who are

good;
He is also good to those who are not good,
Thereby he is good.
He trusts those who are

trustworthy;
He also trusts those who are not trustworthy,
Thereby he is trustworthy.

The sage lives in

harmony with the world,
And his mind is the world's mind.
So he nurtures the worlds of others
As a mother

does her children.

Lao Tze
