Next to the above is he who cultivates to the utmost the shoots of goodness in him.
From those he can attain to the possession of sincerity.
This sincerity becomes apparent. From being apparent, it becomes manifest.
From being manifest, it becomes brilliant. Brilliant, it affects others.
Affecting others, they are changed by it. Changed by it, they are transformed.
It is only he who is possessed of the most complete sincerity that can exist under heaven, who can transform.

Sunzi text
Text from Sun Tzu plus the characters for Virtue, that is where it begins and ends with.
故 兵:
知彼知己,百戰不殆;
不知彼而知己,一勝一負;
不知彼不知 己,每戰必殆.
Therefore in the military:
he who knows the enemy and himself, will never in a hundred battles be at risk;
he who does not know the enemy but knows himself, will sometimes win and sometimes lose;
he who knows neither the enemy nor himself, will be at risk in every battle.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu.
