More quotes by Laozi
The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die.
Laozi
Heaven's Way is like stretching a bow. The high is lowered and the low is raised. Excess is reduced and deficiency is replenished. Heaven's Way reduces excess and replenishes deficiency. People's Way is not so. They reduce the deficient and supply the excessive.
Laozi
Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness.
Laozi
Once upon a time a man whose ax was missing suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief and spoke like a thief. But the man found his ax while digging in the valley, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other child.
Laozi
Countless words count less than the silent balance between yin and yang
Laozi
Clay is used to make vases, but it is the emptiness they contain that makes them useful.
Laozi
The sage is sharp but does not cut, pointed but does not pierce, forthright but does not offend, bright but does not dazzle.
Laozi
Act non-action undertake no undertaking taste the tasteless.
Laozi
The great Way is all-pervading. It reaches to the left and to the right. All things depend on it with their existence. Still it demands no obedience.
Laozi
Moderation means prevention. Prevention means achieving much virtue.
Laozi
The further one goes, the less (he realizes he) one knows.
Laozi
The value of teaching without words and accomplishing without action is understood by few in the world.
Laozi
The softest in the world surpasses the hardest in the world.
Laozi
To know yet to think that one does not know is best Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
Laozi
Use the light that is in you to recover your natural clearness of sight
Laozi
One cannot reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.
Laozi
The biggest in the world is small in its beginning.
Laozi
ALL things in Nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfil their functions and make no claim.
Laozi
Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking. Center your country in the Tao and evil will have no power. Not that it isn't there, but you'll be able to step out of its way. Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.
Laozi
Those who would take over the earth and shape it to their will, never, I notice succeed.
Laozi
