Faith Quote by Lao Tzu
““The sage has no mind of his own. He is aware of the needs of others. I am good to people who are good. I am also good to people who are not good. Because Virtue is goodness. I have faith in people who are faithful. I also have faith in people who are not faithful. Because Virtue is faithfulness. The sage is shy and humble – to the world he seems confusing. Others look to him and listen. He behaves like a little child.””
