More quotes by Laozi
Good Government is not intrusive the people are hardly aware of it the next best is felt yet loved then comes that which is known and feared the worst government is hated.
Laozi
When the government is quite unobtrusive, people are indeed pure. When the government is quite prying, people are indeed conniving.
Laozi
All things such as grass and trees are soft and supple in life. At their death they are withered and dry.
Laozi
Great acts are made up of small deeds.
Laozi
When the highest type of people hear Tao (Truth), they diligently practice it. When the average type of people hear Tao, they half believe in it. When the lowest type of people hear Tao, they laugh at it. If they did not laugh, it would not be Tao.
Laozi
Love is the greatest link that we have with those who have temporarily left us.
Laozi

Laozi
See others as yourself. See families as your family. See towns as your town. See countries as your country. See worlds as your world.
Laozi
As it acts in the world, the Tao is like the bending of a bow. The top is bent downward the bottom is bent up. It adjusts excess and deficiency so that there is perfect balance.
Laozi
If I have even just a little sense, I will walk on the main road and my only fear will be of straying from it. Keeping to the main road is easy, But people love to be sidetracked.
Laozi
If you can let go of (the Tao) with your mind and surround it with your heart, it will live inside you forever.
Laozi
That, which others compress - will widen up and open. That, which others weaken - will strengthen. That, which others destroy - will blossom. Whoever wished to take something from the other, will inevitably loose his own.
Laozi
Covetousness is the greatest misfortune. One who does not know what is enough will never have enough.
Laozi
Misery is what happiness rests upon. Happiness is what misery lurks beneath.
Laozi
From wonder into wonder existence opens.
Laozi
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
Laozi
If you really want everything, then give up everything.
Laozi
Without going outside, you may know the whole world!
Laozi
The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to yin and yang. Yin and yang give birth to all things... The complete whole is the complete whole. So also is any part the complete whole... But forget about understanding and harmonizing and making all things one. The universe is already a harmonious oneness just realize it.
Laozi
