More quotes by Laozi
Worlds and particles, bodies and beings, time and space: All are transient expressions of the Tao.
Laozi
Use the light that is in you to recover your natural clearness of sight
Laozi
Thirty spokes meet in the hub. Where a wheel isn't is where it's useful. Hollowed out, clay makes a pot. Where the pots not is where it's useful. Cut doors and windows to make a room. Where the room isn't, there's room for you. So the profit in what is, is in the use of what isn't.
Laozi
Tao in the world is like a river flowing home to the sea.
Laozi
Do you think that you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear. Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times. That is true meditation. ... The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn't avoid the world.
Laozi
Approach the universe with Tao, And evil will have no power. Not that evil is not powerful, But its power will not be used to harm others.
Laozi
Those who have compassion when they do battle will be victorious. Those who likewise defend themselves will be safe. Heaven will rescue and protect them with compassion.
Laozi
He who regards many things easy will find many difficulties. Therefore the sage regards things difficult, and consequently never has difficulties.
Laozi
Those who know when it is enough will not perish.
Laozi
Nature's way is simple and easy, but men prefer the intricate and artificial.
Laozi
Be gentle and you can be bold be frugal and you can be liberal avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.
Laozi
Softness triumphs over hardness, feebleness over strength. What is more malleable is always superior over that which is immoveable. This is the principle of controlling things by going along with them, of mastery through adaptation.
Laozi
The Tao is unpredictable to those that live according to plans. Only those who have no agenda are in harmony with the Tao.
Laozi
By the accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love and kindness he may rule the world forever.
Laozi
If people live in constant fear of death, and if breaking the law is punished by death, then who would dare?
Laozi
Abandon knowledge and your worries are over.
Laozi
Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.
Laozi
Knowing others is wisdom Knowing the self is enlightenment Mastering others requires force Mastering the self needs strength.
Laozi
Every step is on the path.
Laozi
. . . Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom.
Laozi
