More quotes by Laozi
Wear down to be renewed.
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
Those who understand others are clever, those who understand themselves are wise.
Laozi

Laozi

Laozi
A man is born gentle and weak. At death, he is hard and stiff. Green plants are tender and filled with sap. At death, they are withered and dry. Therefore, the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death, and the gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.
Laozi
Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.
Laozi
The best way to manage anything is by making use of its own nature.
Laozi
Those who do not trust enough should not be trusted.
Laozi

Laozi
He who prides himself upon wealth and honor hastens his own downfall.
Laozi
. . . learn to value what is important today in the subtle realm rather than what appears desirable tomorrow in the worldly realm.
Laozi
There was something that finished chaos, born before Heaven and Earth.
Laozi
When the Way is lost there is virtue. When virtue is lost there is benevolence. When benevolence is lost there is righteousness. When righteousness is lost there are rituals.
Laozi
Life is going forth death is returning home.
Laozi
Harmony is called the eternal. Knowing the eternal is called clarity.
Laozi
To know and not to do is not yet to know.
Laozi
