More quotes by Laozi
He who controls the past controls the future.
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
The sage never strives for greatness, and can therefore accomplish greatness.
Laozi
Your own positive future begins in this moment. All you have is right now. Every goal is possible from here.
Laozi
The sage wears coarse clothes, concealing jade.
Laozi

Laozi
Searching for precious goods leads astray.
Laozi
Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.
Laozi
Without going outside, you may know the whole world, without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven. The farther you go, the less you know. Thus the sage knows without traveling he sees without looking he works without doing.
Laozi
A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind. Thus by nature's own decree, the soft and gentle are triumphant.
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
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
Going on means going far, going far means returning.
Laozi
The Tao is told is not the Tao.
Laozi
If you go searching for the Great Creator, you will come back empty-handed. The source of the universe is ultimately unknowable, a great invisible river flowing forever through a vast and fertile valley. Silent and uncreated, it creates all things.
Laozi
Why do the people think so little of death? Because the rulers demand too much of life. Therefore the people take death lightly.
Laozi
The moment truth is asserted, it becomes false.
Laozi
When people see some things as good, other things become bad.
Laozi
Let the country be small, and the inhabitants few.
Laozi
