More quotes by Laozi
The Tao is always at ease. It overcomes without competing, answers without speaking a word, arrives without being summoned, accomplishes without a plan. Its net covers the whole universe. And though its meshes are wide, it doesn't let a thing slip through.
Laozi
It is the child that sees the primordial secret in Nature and it is the child of ourselves we return to. The child within us is simple and daring enough to live the Secret.
Laozi
So sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind Sometimes breathing is hard, sometimes it comes easily Sometimes there is strength and sometimes weakness Sometimes one is up and sometimes down. Therefore the sage avoids extremes, excesses, and complacency.
Laozi
If you can let go of (the Tao) with your mind and surround it with your heart, it will live inside you forever.
Laozi
Returning to the source is stillness. It is returning to one's fate. Returning to one's fate is eternal.

Laozi
The Tao doesn't take sides it gives birth to both good and evil. The Master doesn't take sides she welcomes both saints and sinners. The Tao is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the more it produces the more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold on to the center.
Laozi

Laozi
The sage acts without taking credit. He accomplishes without dwelling on it. He does not want to display his worth.
Laozi
