More quotes by Laozi
Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends. Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness.
Laozi
The truly great man dwells on what is real and not what is on the surface.
Laozi
Mask your brightness. Be at one with the dust of the earth. This is primal union.
Laozi
The master does his job and then stops. He understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao.
Laozi
Without desire there is stillness, and the world settles by itself.
Laozi
Abandon knowledge and your worries are over.
Laozi
No thought, no action, no movement, total stillness: only thus can one manifest the true nature and law of things from within and unconsciously, and at last become one with heaven and earth.
Laozi
We desire to understand the world by giving names to the things we see, but these things are only the effects of something subtle.
Laozi
One who believes in himself has no need to convince others.
Laozi
The Way of Tao is this: It strives not, but conquers It speaks not, but all is made clear It summons not, but its house is crowded It contrives not, but the design is perfect.
Laozi
When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance.
Laozi
I have the mind of a fool, understanding nothing.
Laozi
Dualistic thinking is a sickness.
Laozi
The feminine values are the fountain of bliss. Know the masculine, Keep to the feminine.
Laozi
Returning to the source is stillness. It is returning to one's fate. Returning to one's fate is eternal.
Laozi
The Tao doesn't take sides it gives birth to both good and evil. The Master doesn't take sides she welcomes both saints and sinners. The Tao is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the more it produces the more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold on to the center.
Laozi
When one gives whatever one can without restraint, the barriers of individuality break down. It no longer becomes possible to tell whether it is the student offering himself to the teacher, or the teacher offering herself to the student. One sees only two immaculate beings, reflecting one another like a pair of brilliant mirrors.
Laozi
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Laozi
All things such as grass and trees are soft and supple in life. At their death they are withered and dry.
Laozi
When armies are mobilized and issues joined, the man who is sorry over the fact will always win.
Laozi
