Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.

More quotes by Laozi
Those who advice the ruler on the Way, do not want the world subdued with weapons.
Laozi
People aren't against you they are for themselves. The most dangerous risk of all - the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later. He who conquers others is strong, he who conquers himself is mighty.
Laozi
Stop thinking, and end your problems.
Laozi
Water benefits the ten thousand things and does not oppose them.
Laozi
Greed is costly. Assembled fortunes are lost.
Laozi
Favor and disgrace are like fear. Favor is in a higher place, and disgrace in a lower place. When you win them you are like being in fear, and when you lose them you are also like being in fear. So favor and disgrace are like fear.
Laozi
A sage is skilled at helping people without excluding anyone.
Laozi
Why did the ancients praise the Way? Did they not say it was because you find what you seek and are saved from your wrongdoings?
Laozi
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
The rigid and big belong below. The soft and weak belong above.
Laozi
He (the sage) is good to those who are good. He is also good to those who are not good. That is the virtue of good.
Laozi
When Simplicity is broken up, it is made into instruments. Evolved individuals who employ them, are made into leaders. In this way, the Great System is United.
Laozi
He who talks more is sooner exhausted.
Laozi
The sage governs by emptying senses and filling bellies.
Laozi
Abandon cleverness, discard profit, and thieves and robbers will disappear.
Laozi
If you practice inaction, nothing will be left undone: For the way to acquire lordship over society is by invariably not interfering.
Laozi
When pure sincerity forms within, it is outwardly realized in other people's hearts.
Laozi
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Laozi
Searching for precious goods leads astray.
Laozi
Those who of old were good practicers of Tao did not use it to make people bright, but rather used it to make them simple.
Laozi
