More quotes by Laozi
The one who can dissolve her mind will suddenly discover the Tao at her feet.
Laozi
From wonder into wonder existence opens.
Laozi
Clay is fashioned into vessels it is on their empty hollowness that their use depends. Doors and windows are cut out to make a dwelling, and on the empty space within, its use depends. Thus, while the existence of things may be good, it is the non-existence in them that makes them serviceable.
Laozi
Abandon fancy theologies and imaginary ideas and do some ordinary daily work... {Engage in this work with} unswerving kindness and unending patience.
Laozi
When you accurately perceive the fluidity of things, you can also begin to perceive the constancy behind them: the creative, transformative, boundless, immutable Tao.
Laozi
Do you think that you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear. Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times. That is true meditation. ... The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn't avoid the world.
Laozi
Those who advice the ruler on the Way, do not want the world subdued with weapons.
Laozi
The noble must make humility his root.
Laozi
If you search everywhere, yet cannot find what you are seeking, it is because what you seek is already in your possession.
Laozi
The master accomplishes more and more by doing less and less until finally he accomplishes everything by doing nothing.
Laozi
Filling all the way to the brim is not as good as halting in time.
Laozi
Those who are one with deprivation are deprived of deprivation.
Laozi
Once upon a time a man whose ax was missing suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief and spoke like a thief. But the man found his ax while digging in the valley, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other child.
Laozi
What people loathe the most is to be orphaned, desolate, unworthy. But this is what princes and kings call themselves.
Laozi
Justice has long arm.
Laozi
Knowledge of the eternal is all-embracing. To be all-embracing leads to righteousness, which is majestic.
Laozi
When pure sincerity forms within, it is outwardly realized in other people's hearts.
Laozi
Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can. I wish you Happy New Year and diary full of best stories ever written in your life.
Laozi
The Tao never acts with force, yet there is nothing that it can not do.
Laozi
Favor and disgrace are like fear. Favor is in a higher place, and disgrace in a lower place. When you win them you are like being in fear, and when you lose them you are also like being in fear. So favor and disgrace are like fear.
Laozi
