More quotes by Laozi
The master understands that the universe is forever out of control
Laozi
He who does not trust enough will not be trusted.
Laozi
. . . integral wisdom involves a direct participation in every moment: the observer and the observed are dissolved in the light of pure awareness, and no mental concepts or attitudes are present to dim that light.
Laozi
For one gains by losing And loses by gaining.
Laozi
He who prides himself upon wealth and honor hastens his own downfall.
Laozi
. . . learn to value what is important today in the subtle realm rather than what appears desirable tomorrow in the worldly realm.
Laozi
By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.
Laozi
Does one scent appeal more than another? Do you prefer this flavor, or that feeling? Is your practice sacred and your work profane? Then your mind is separated: from itself, from oneness, from the Tao.
Laozi
If people do not revere the Law of Nature It will adversely affect them. If they accept It with knowledge and reverence, It will accommodate them with balance and harmony.
Laozi
A good calculator does not need artificial aids.
Laozi
Learn to lead in a nourishing manner. Learn to lead without being possessive. Learn to be helpful without taking the credit. Learn to lead without coercion.
Laozi
Every step is on the path.
Laozi
True words aren't eloquent eloquent words aren't true. Wise men don't need to prove their point men who need to prove their point aren't wise. The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is. The Tao nourishes by not forcing. By not dominating, the Master leads.
Laozi
Let people return to making knots on ropes, instead of writing.
Laozi
ALL things in Nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfil their functions and make no claim.
Laozi
Knowing others is intelligence knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength mastering yourself is true power.
Laozi
If Heaven were not clear it might rend. If Earth were not firm it might crumble.
Laozi
The leader is a teacher who succeeds without taking credit. And, because credit is not taken, credit is received.
Laozi
Abandon cleverness, discard profit, and thieves and robbers will disappear.
Laozi
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
Laozi
