Chapter 49
第四十九章
The sage has no invariable mind of his own; he makes the mind of the people his mind.
圣人常無心，以百姓之心為心。
To those who are good (to me), I am good;
善者，吾善之；
and to those who are not good (to me), I am also good;--and thus (all) get to be good.
不善者，吾亦善之，德善。
To those who are sincere (with me), I am sincere;
信者，吾信之；
and to those who are not sincere (with me), I am also sincere;--and thus (all) get to be sincere.
不信者，吾亦信之，德信。
The sage has in the world an appearance of indecision, and keeps his mind in a state of indifference to all.
圣人在天下，歙歙焉為天下渾其心，
The people all keep their eyes and ears directed to him, and he deals with them all as his children.
百姓皆注其耳目，圣人皆孩之。
