Laozi
The further one goes, the less (he realizes he) one knows.
Laozi
Sometimes gain comes from losing, and sometimes loss comes from gaining.
Laozi
There is no calamity greater than lightly engaging in war.
Laozi
The Tao is always at ease. It overcomes without competing, answers without speaking a word, arrives without being summoned, accomplishes without a plan. Its net covers the whole universe. And though its meshes are wide, it doesn't let a thing slip through.
Laozi
The tree which needs two arms to span its girth sprang from the tiniest shoot. Yon tower, nine stories high, rose from a little mound of earth. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Laozi
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
Laozi
Rule a kingdom as though you were cooking a small fish - don't overdo it.

One's own self or material goods, which has more worth? Loss (of self) or possession (of goods), which is the greater evil? He who loves most, spends most, He who hoards much loses much
Laozi

Laozi

Laozi
A great country needs more people to serve it. A small country needs more people to serve. So, if both shall get what they need, the great country ought to yield.
Laozi
People aren't against you they are for themselves. The most dangerous risk of all - the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later. He who conquers others is strong, he who conquers himself is mighty.
Laozi
The most fundamental seems fickle.
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
Those who seek knowledge, collect something every day. Those who seek the Way, let go of something every day.
Laozi
If one desires to receive one must first give. This is called profound understanding.
Laozi
Use the light that is in you to recover your natural clearness of sight
Laozi
To produce things and to rear them, To produce, but not to take possession of them, To act, but not to rely on one's own ability, To lead them, but not to master them - This is called profound and secret virtue.
Laozi
