More quotes by Laozi
The best leaders are those their people hardly know exist. The next best is a leader who is loved and praised. Next comes the one who is feared. The worst one is the leader that is despised ... The best leaders value their words, and use them sparingly. When they have accomplished their task, the people say, Amazing! We did it, all by ourselves!
Laozi
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
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 are highly evolved, maintain an undiscriminating perception. Seeing everything, labeling nothing, they maintain their awareness of the Great Oneness. Thus they are supported by it.
Laozi
Without stepping out the door, you can know the world.
Laozi
A sound man is good at salvage, at seeing nothing is lost
Laozi

Laozi
To have enough of enough is always enough.
Laozi
Those who are one with deprivation are deprived of deprivation.
Laozi

Laozi
The truly great ones rely on substance, and not on surface, hold on to the fruit, and not to the flower.
Laozi
To know you have enough is to be rich.
Laozi
That which is achieved the most, still has the whole of its future yet to be achieved.
Laozi
To attain to the human form must always be a source of joy. And then to undergo continuous transitions, with only the infinite to look forward to: what incomparable bliss is that!
Laozi
The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world. Through this I know the advantage of taking no action.
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
Good words shall gain you honor in the marketplace, but good deeds shall gain you friends among men.
Laozi
As long as we have hope, we have direction, the energy to move, and the map to move by. We have a hundred alternatives, a thousand paths and an infinity of dreams. Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go hopeless, we are lost forever.
Laozi
Be empty. Be still. Just watch everything come and go. This is the way of Nature.
Laozi
Going forward seems like retreat.
Laozi
