Laozi
Image
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
Image
Those who do not trust enough should not be trusted.
Laozi
Image
The sage is not ill, because he sees illness as illness.
Laozi
Image
Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness.
Laozi
Image
Does one scent appeal more than another? Do you prefer this flavor, or that feeling? Is your practice sacred and your work profane? Then your mind is separated: from itself, from oneness, from the Tao.
Laozi
Image
He who walks on tip-toe does not walk on solid ground.
Laozi
