More quotes by Laozi
The whole world says that my Way is great like nothing else. It is great because it is like nothing else. If it were like everything else, it would long ago have become insignificant.
Laozi
Those who seek knowledge, collect something every day. Those who seek the Way, let go of something every day.
Laozi

Laozi

Laozi

Laozi
To realize that our knowledge is ignorance, This is a noble insight. To regard our ignorance as knowledge, This is mental sickness. Only when we are sick of the sickness Shall we cease to be sick. The Sage is not sick, being sick of sickness This is the secret of health.

Laozi
The most powerful weapon known is the weapon of blessing. Therefore, a clever person relies on it. He wins with peace, not with war.
Laozi
Without going outside, you may know the whole world!
Laozi
But in the present day men cast off gentleness, and are all for being bold they spurn frugality, and retain only extravagance they discard humility, and aim only at being first. Therefore they shall surely perish.
Laozi
We are all capable of much more than we think we are.
Laozi
The high must make the low its base.
Laozi
What resists, persists.
Laozi
