He (the sage) is good to those who are good. He is also good to those who are not good. That is the virtue of good.

Be humble and you will remain entire. The sages do not display themselves, therefore they shine. They do not approve themselves, therefore they are noted. They do not praise themselves, therefore they have merit. They do not glory in themselves, therefore they excel.

He who knows, knows not. He who knows not, knows.
