More quotes by 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
I alone am different from the others, because I am nourished by the great mother.
Laozi
. . . the integral being is attached to nothing and can relate to everyone with an unstructured attitude. Because of this, her very existence benefits all things.
Laozi
The tree which fills the arms grew from the tiniest sprout.
Laozi
Simplicity has no name is free of desires. Being free of desires it is tranquil. And the world will be at peace of it's own accord.
Laozi
The best of all teachers is the one who helps people so that eventually they don't need him.
Laozi
Not praising the deserving prevents envy.
Laozi
The Way to do is to be.
Laozi
Other people are joyous, like on the feast of the ox, like on the way up to the terrace in the spring. I alone am inert, giving no sign, like a newborn baby who has not learned to smile.
Laozi
Sincere words are not fine fine words are not sincere. Those who are skilled (in the Tao) do not dispute (about it) the disputatious are not skilled in it. Those who know (the Tao) are not extensively learned the extensively learned do not know it.
Laozi
Seal the openings, shut the doors, and until your last day you will not be exhausted. Widen the openings, interfere, and until your last day you will not be safe.
Laozi
I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.
Laozi
Prepare for the difficult while it is still easy. Deal with the big while it is still small. Difficult undertakings have always started with what easy. Great undertakings always started with what is small. Therefore the sage never strives for the great,And thereby the great is achieved.
Laozi
The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long.
Laozi
Dualistic thinking is a sickness.
Laozi
Spokes unite in the hub of a wheel.
Laozi
Empty yourself of everything. Let the mind become still. The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then return to the source. Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.
Laozi
Why are the people rebellious? Because the rulers interfere too much. Therefore they are rebellious.
Laozi
Be the chief but never the lord.
Laozi
Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends. Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness.
Laozi
