Kindness in thought leads to wisdom. Kindness in speech leads to eloquence. Kindness in action leads to love.
Laozi
Where there is no conflict, there is no fault.
Laozi
To lead, one must follow.
Laozi
The most eloquent seems to stutter.
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
Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Laozi
When good thing are accomplished, it does not claim (or name) them. This is Te, which is close in meaning to power or virtue. It is something within a person, and it is enhanced by following the Tao, or 'that from which nothing can deviate'.
Laozi
A good mooring needs no knot, still no one can untie it.
Laozi
The longer you travel, the less you know.
Laozi
Man, when living, is soft and tender when dead, he is hard and tough. All animals and plants when living are tender and delicate when dead they become withered and dry. Therefore it is said: the hard and tough are parts of death the soft and tender are parts of life.
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
I alone am different from the others, because I am nourished by the great mother.
Laozi
By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.
Laozi
He who regards many things easy will find many difficulties. Therefore the sage regards things difficult, and consequently never has difficulties.
Laozi
If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.
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
Can you open and close the gate of Heaven and act like a woman?
Laozi
If you go searching for the Great Creator, you will come back empty-handed. The source of the universe is ultimately unknowable, a great invisible river flowing forever through a vast and fertile valley. Silent and uncreated, it creates all things.
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
Those who know when it is enough will not perish.
Laozi
