More quotes by Laozi
Seeing the small is called Clarity. Keeping flexible is called Strength. Using the shining Radiance, You enter the Light, Where no harm can come to you. This is called Enlightenment.
Laozi
Who can enjoy enlightenment and remain indifferent to suffering in the world? This is not in keeping with the Way. Only those who increase their service along with their understanding can be called men and women of Tao.
Laozi
The best fighter is never angry.
Laozi
The rigid and big belong below. The soft and weak belong above.
Laozi
We are all capable of much more than we think we are.
Laozi
Do not fear the aging of the body for it is the body's way of seeking the root.
Laozi
Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.
Laozi
All things in nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfill their function and make no claim. All things alike do their work, and then we see them subside. When they have reached their bloom, each returns to its origin. . . . This reversion is an eternal law. To know that law is wisdom.
Laozi
When the palace is magnificent, the fields are filled with weeds, and the granaries are empty.
Laozi
By not claiming to be first in the world one can rule.
Laozi
He who steals a hook shall be hanged while he who steals the state shall be crowned as prince.
Laozi
Do nothing, and leave nothing undone. [Doing nothing is what happens when the doer disappears, it isn't something that one does or chooses not to do.]
Laozi
The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world. Through this I know the advantage of taking no action.
Laozi
Misery is what happiness rests upon. Happiness is what misery lurks beneath.
Laozi
Things are not worth attending to, yet they have to be attended to.
Laozi
Peace and quiet govern the world.
Laozi
Cultivate virtue in the world, and it will be universal.
Laozi
I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.
Laozi
The words of truth are always paradoxical.
Laozi
When one gives whatever one can without restraint, the barriers of individuality break down. It no longer becomes possible to tell whether it is the student offering himself to the teacher, or the teacher offering herself to the student. One sees only two immaculate beings, reflecting one another like a pair of brilliant mirrors.
Laozi
