More quotes by Laozi
When one gives whatever one can without restraint, the barriers of individuality break down. It no longer becomes possible to tell whether it is the student offering himself to the teacher, or the teacher offering herself to the student. One sees only two immaculate beings, reflecting one another like a pair of brilliant mirrors.
Laozi
The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most successful manager leads without dictating. This is intelligent non aggressiveness.
Laozi
Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner.
Laozi
Those who take long steps cannot keep the pace.
Laozi
heaven is eternal, earth everlasting. they endure this way because they do not live for themselves. in the same way, the wise person puts himself last, and thereby finds himself first, holds himself outside, and thereby remains at the center, abandons himself, and is thereby fulfilled.
Laozi
For knowledge, add something every day. For wisdom....subtract.
Laozi
The wise are not learned, the learned are not wise.
Laozi
Practice non-action. Work without doing.
Laozi
Spokes unite in the hub of a wheel.
Laozi
The Way is ever nameless.
Laozi
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Laozi
Not all spiritual paths lead to the harmonious Oneness. Indeed, most are detours and distractions, nothing more.
Laozi
Other people are occupied, I alone am unwilling, like the outcast.
Laozi
In caring for others and serving heaven, There is nothing like using restraint.
Laozi
Great accomplishment seems imperfect, Yet it does not outlive its usefulness. Great fullness seems empty, Yet it cannot be exhausted.
Laozi
My words are easy to understand and easy to perform, Yet no man under heaven knows them or practices them.
Laozi
Worlds and particles, bodies and beings, time and space: All are transient expressions of the Tao.
Laozi
Shape clay into a vessel It is the space within that makes it useful. Cut doors and windows for a room It is the holes which make it useful. Therefore benefit comes from what is there Usefulness from what is not there.
Laozi
A tree as wide as a man's embrace grows from a tiny shoot.
Laozi
Having reached a high level of realization (or having accomplished anything in life), don't get excited or puffed up with pride but remain calm, humble, and in perfect equanimity if you want to continue in this deep state of consciousness.
Laozi
