Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.
Laozi

More quotes by Laozi
Without going outside, you may know the whole world, without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven. The farther you go, the less you know. Thus the sage knows without traveling he sees without looking he works without doing.
Laozi
Covetousness is the greatest misfortune. One who does not know what is enough will never have enough.
Laozi
Heavy is the root of light.
Laozi
Abandon cleverness, discard profit, and thieves and robbers will disappear.
Laozi
To know and not to do is not yet to know.
Laozi
Those who defeat others are strong, those who defeat themselves are mighty.
Laozi
Although he travels all day, the sage never loses sight of his luggage carts.
Laozi
Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can. I wish you Happy New Year and diary full of best stories ever written in your life.
Laozi
At the center of your being you have the answer you know who you are and you know what you want.
Laozi
To be constantly without desire is the way to have a vision of the mystery of heaven and earth. For constantly to have desire is the means by which their limitations are seen.
Laozi
He who is able to conquer others is powerful he who is able to conquer himself is more powerful.
Laozi
Practice non-action. Work without doing.
Laozi
I am at peace, and people become fair by themselves.
Laozi
True words aren't eloquent eloquent words aren't true. Wise men don't need to prove their point men who need to prove their point aren't wise. The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is. The Tao nourishes by not forcing. By not dominating, the Master leads.
Laozi
We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want. We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable. We work with being, but non-being is what we use.
Laozi
Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river.
Laozi
If one desires to receive one must first give. This is called profound understanding.
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
A sage is skilled at helping people without excluding anyone.
Laozi
All things such as grass and trees are soft and supple in life. At their death they are withered and dry.
Laozi
