More quotes by Laozi
The one who is filled by virtue is like a newborn baby.
Laozi
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Laozi
If the majority doesn't laugh at you, beware that you must be saying something wrong. When the majority thinks you are a fool, only then is there some possibility of you being a wise man.
Laozi
Throw away profit and greed, and there won't be any thieves.
Laozi
If you see what is small as it sees itself, and accept what is weak for what strength it has, and use what is dim for the light it gives then all will go well. This is called Acting Naturally.
Laozi
That so few understand me is why I am treasured.
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
To have enough of enough is always enough.
Laozi

Laozi
The world is ruled by letting things take their course. It cannot be ruled by interfering.
Laozi

Laozi
Although most people spend their entire lives following this biological impulse (i.e. the sex drive), it is only a tiny portion of our beings. . . . If we remain obsessed with seeds and eggs, we are married to the fertile reproductive valley of the Mysterious Mother but not to her immeasurable heart and all-knowing mind.
Laozi
Trustable words are not beautiful beautiful words are not trustable.
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 supreme rulers are hardly known by their subjects. The lesser are loved and praised. The even lesser are feared. The least are despised.
Laozi
A whale out of water is over-run by ants.
Laozi
Those who die without being forgotten get longevity.
Laozi
The natural laws of the universe are inviolable... what you say and do determines what happens in your life... You are the master of your life and death. What you do is what you are.
Laozi
Without stepping out the door, you can know the world.
Laozi
