More quotes by Laozi
Nature is not human hearted.
Laozi
Nothing on earth is so weak and yielding as water, but for breaking down the firm and strong it has no equal.
Laozi
If you wish to be out front, then act as if you were behind.
Laozi
To know yet to think that one does not know is best Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
Laozi
The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of all things.
Laozi

Laozi
If you want to be given everything, give everything up.
Laozi
The progress of the Way seems retreating.
Laozi
Solve it before it happens. Order it before chaos emerges.
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
In ancient times, those who followed the Way did not try to give people knowledge thereof, but kept them ignorant.
Laozi
These possessions of a simpleton being the three I choose and cherish: to care, to be fair, to be humble.
Laozi
What is strong and rigid is snapped and laid low. What is flexible and soft will always prevail.
Laozi
When you have accomplished your goal simply walk away. This is the path way to Heaven.
Laozi
Heaven's net is very vast. It is sparsely meshed, yet nothing slips through.
Laozi
Wise travelers always stop short before they come to danger.
Laozi
The universe is deathless Is deathless because, having no finite self, it stays infinite. A sound man by not advancing himself stays the further ahead of himself, By not confining himself to himself sustains himself outside himself: By never being an end in himself he endlessly becomes himself.
Laozi
The ruler attains wholeness in the correct governance of the people.
Laozi
To delight in conquest is to delight in slaughter.
Laozi
A good mooring needs no knot, still no one can untie it.
Laozi
