When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance.
Laozi
Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.
Laozi
To realize that our knowledge is ignorance, This is a noble insight. To regard our ignorance as knowledge, This is mental sickness. Only when we are sick of the sickness Shall we cease to be sick. The Sage is not sick, being sick of sickness This is the secret of health.
Laozi
To know one's ignorance is the best part of knowledge.
Laozi
Just as the value of a house lies in its location, The value of a mind lies in its depth, The value of giving lies in the presence of a generous spirit, The value of words lies in their reliability.
Laozi

The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be.
Laozi
To be of few words is natural.
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
Stillness is easy to maintain.
Laozi
The man of knowledge acquires something new everyday, and the man of Tao lets go of something new every day.
Laozi
