📜 ᱛᱷᱚᱠ ᱧᱮᱞᱢᱟ (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
James Legge (1891)
The sage has no invariable mind of his own; he makes the mind of the people his mind. To those who are good (to me), I am good; and to those who are not good (to me), I am also good; and thus (all) get to be good. To those who are sincere (with me), I am sincere; and to those who are not sincere (with me), I am also sincere; and thus (all) get to be sincere.
