More quotes by Laozi
How do I become still? By flowing with the stream.
Laozi
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Laozi
He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
Laozi
Thirty spokes meet in the hub. Where a wheel isn't is where it's useful. Hollowed out, clay makes a pot. Where the pots not is where it's useful. Cut doors and windows to make a room. Where the room isn't, there's room for you. So the profit in what is, is in the use of what isn't.
Laozi
Fine words are traded. Noble deeds gain respect. But people who are not good, why abandon them?
Laozi
The skillful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels.
Laozi
Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil.
Laozi
He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent. He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
Laozi
Stop trying to control. Let go of fixed plans and concepts, and the world will govern itself.
Laozi
We are all capable of much more than we think we are.
Laozi
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Laozi
The sage desires no desire, does not value rare treasures, learns without learning, recovers what people have left behind.
Laozi
Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline simulated fear postulates courage simulated weakness postulates strength.
Laozi
The more sharp weapons people have in a country, the bigger the disorder will be.
Laozi
It is hidden but always present.
Laozi
If Heaven were not clear it might rend. If Earth were not firm it might crumble.
Laozi
Mold clay into a bowl. The empty space makes it useful.
Laozi
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is.
Laozi
When the emperor is crowned or the three dukes are appointed, rather than sending a gift of jade carried by four horses, remain still and offer the Way.
Laozi
The good man is the teacher of the bad, And the bad is the material from which the good may learn. He who does not value the teacher, Or greatly care for the material, Is greatly deluded although he may be learned. Such is the essential mystery.
Laozi
