To those who are not good, I am also good.

Excerpt

The sage has no invariable mind of his own; he makes the mind of the people his mind. To those who are good, I am good; and to those who are not good, I am also good;--and thus all get to be good. To those who are sincere, I am sincere; and to those who are not sincere, I am also sincere;--and thus all get to be sincere.
