More quotes by Laozi
Things are not worth attending to, yet they have to be attended to.
Laozi
Not valuing wealth prevents theft.
Laozi
If you see what is small as it sees itself, and accept what is weak for what strength it has, and use what is dim for the light it gives then all will go well. This is called Acting Naturally.
Laozi
Do nothing, and leave nothing undone. [Doing nothing is what happens when the doer disappears, it isn't something that one does or chooses not to do.]
Laozi
The one who does not stray away from her/his nature will live long.
Laozi
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Laozi
(The Tao) is always present and always available. . . . If you are willing to be lived by it, you will see it everywhere, even in the most ordinary things.
Laozi
The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be. The more weapons you have, the less secure people will be. The more subsidies you have, the less self reliant people will be.
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
I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.
Laozi
Quiet your mind and stop judging and resisting and manipulating the natural way.
Laozi
When armies are mobilized and issues joined, the man who is sorry over the fact will always win.
Laozi
Hold on to the center and make up your mind to rejoice in this paradise called life.
Laozi
Nothing is weaker than water, Yet for overcoming what is hard and strong, Nothing surpasses it.
Laozi
The best leaders are those their people hardly know exist. The next best is a leader who is loved and praised. Next comes the one who is feared. The worst one is the leader that is despised ... The best leaders value their words, and use them sparingly. When they have accomplished their task, the people say, Amazing! We did it, all by ourselves!
Laozi
What should be shrunken must first be stretched.
Laozi
Fine words are traded. Noble deeds gain respect. But people who are not good, why abandon them?
Laozi
The wise man is one who knows what he does not know.
Laozi
Wise travelers always stop short before they come to danger.
Laozi
Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.
Laozi
