More quotes by Laozi
When the Way is lost there is virtue. When virtue is lost there is benevolence. When benevolence is lost there is righteousness. When righteousness is lost there are rituals.
Laozi
. . . Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom.
Laozi
Those who know others are intelligent Those who know themselves have insight. Those who master others have force Those who master themselves have strength.Those who know what is enough are wealthy. Those who persevere have direction. Those who maintain their position endure. And those who die and yet do not perish, live on.
Laozi
Although most people spend their entire lives following this biological impulse (i.e. the sex drive), it is only a tiny portion of our beings. . . . If we remain obsessed with seeds and eggs, we are married to the fertile reproductive valley of the Mysterious Mother but not to her immeasurable heart and all-knowing mind.
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
The sage knows himself, but does not parade. He cherishes himself, but does not praise himself.
Laozi
The wise man is one who knows what he does not know.
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
Excellent conquerors do not engage.
Laozi
The very highest is barely known. Then comes that which people know and love, Then that which is feared, Then that which is despised. Who does not trust enough will not be trusted.
Laozi
Peace and quiet are preferred. Victory should not be praised.
Laozi
Not-knowing is true knowledge. Presuming to know is a disease. First realize that you are sick then you can move toward health.
Laozi
Take care with the end as you do with the beginning
Laozi
Those who know when to halt are unharmed.
Laozi
Stop leaving and you will arrive, Stop searching and you will see, Stop running away and you will be found.
Laozi
The high must make the low its base.
Laozi
Displaying riches and titles with pride brings about one's downfall.
Laozi
I have three treasures which I hold and keep. The first is mercy the second is economy. The third is daring not to be ahead of others. From mercy comes courage from economy comes generosity From humility comes leadership.
Laozi
Kindness in words creates confidence.
Laozi
The Wise Man is square but not sharp, honest but not not malign, straight but not severe, bright but not dazzling.
Laozi
