More quotes by Laozi
Cultivate virtue in the world, and it will be universal.
Laozi
If the majority doesn't laugh at you, beware that you must be saying something wrong. When the majority thinks you are a fool, only then is there some possibility of you being a wise man.
Laozi
Those who know do not speak Those who speak do not know. Stop up the openings, Close down the doors, Rub off the sharp edges. Unravel all confusion. Harmonize the light, Give up contention: This is called finding the unity of life.
Laozi
Of the second-rate leaders people speak respectfully saying, He has done this, he has done that. Of the first-rate leaders, they do not say this. They say, We have done it all ourselves.
Laozi
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

Laozi
Do nothing, and leave nothing undone. [Doing nothing is what happens when the doer disappears, it isn't something that one does or chooses not to do.]
Laozi
Perfect kindness acts without thinking of kindness.
