Image
A follower of the Way (Tao) loses something each day. Loss after loss until arriving at Non Action (Wu Wei).
Laozi
Image
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Laozi
Image
If you can let go of (the Tao) with your mind and surround it with your heart, it will live inside you forever.
Laozi
Image
The Way is hidden and nameless. Still only the Way nourishes and completes.
Laozi
Image
Accept disgrace willingly... Accept being unimportant... Surrender yourself humbly then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world as your own self then you can truly care for all things.
Laozi
Image
Follow diligently the Way in your own heart, but make no display of it to the world.

Laozi
Image
When merit has been achieved, do not take it to yourself for if you do not take it to yourself, it shall never be taken from you.
Laozi
Image
Other people are joyous, like on the feast of the ox, like on the way up to the terrace in the spring. I alone am inert, giving no sign, like a newborn baby who has not learned to smile.
Laozi
Image
One who believes in himself has no need to convince others.
Laozi
Image
The rigid tree will be felled.
Laozi
Image
Mold clay into a bowl. The empty space makes it useful.
Laozi
Image
Not praising the deserving prevents envy.
Laozi
Image
Excellent conquerors do not engage.
Laozi
Image
Be Content with what you have rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
Laozi
Image
Close your mouth, block off your senses, blunt your sharpness, untie your knots, soften your glare, settle your dust. This is the primal identity.
Laozi
