More quotes by Laozi
Love is the greatest link that we have with those who have temporarily left us.
Laozi
If people do not revere the Law of Nature It will adversely affect them. If they accept It with knowledge and reverence, It will accommodate them with balance and harmony.
Laozi
What is strong and rigid is snapped and laid low. What is flexible and soft will always prevail.
Laozi
The rigid tree will be felled.
Laozi
Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself.
Laozi
Those who take long steps cannot keep the pace.
Laozi
To rule by knowledge ravages the country.
Laozi
Stop thinking, and end your problems. What difference between yes and no? What difference between success and failure? Must you value what others value, avoid what others avoid? How ridiculous!
Laozi
There are many paths to enlightenment. Be sure to take the one with a heart.
Laozi

Laozi
True words are not pleasing. Pleasing words are not true.
Laozi
Heaven's Way gives no favors. It always remains with good people.
Laozi
Govern a great nation as you would cook a small fish. Do not overdo it.
Laozi
Heaven's Way is like stretching a bow. The high is lowered and the low is raised. Excess is reduced and deficiency is replenished. Heaven's Way reduces excess and replenishes deficiency. People's Way is not so. They reduce the deficient and supply the excessive.
Laozi
Those who know when it is enough will not perish.
Laozi
Worlds and particles, bodies and beings, time and space: All are transient expressions of the Tao.
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
When you have accomplished your goal simply walk away. This is the path way to Heaven.
Laozi
Excellent conquerors do not engage.
Laozi
Giving birth and nourishing, Bearing yet not possessing, Working yet not taking credit, Leading yet not dominating, This is the Primal Virtue.
Laozi
