More quotes by Laozi
Even the longest journey must begin where you stand.
Laozi
Too much success is not an advantage. Do not tinkle like jade Or clatter like stone chimes.
Laozi
Prepare for the difficult while it is still easy. Deal with the big while it is still small. Difficult undertakings have always started with what easy. Great undertakings always started with what is small. Therefore the sage never strives for the great,And thereby the great is achieved.
Laozi
The ruler attains wholeness in the correct governance of the people.
Laozi
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Laozi
Does one scent appeal more than another? Do you prefer this flavor, or that feeling? Is your practice sacred and your work profane? Then your mind is separated: from itself, from oneness, from the Tao.
Laozi
New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.
Laozi
(The Tao) is always present and always available. . . . If you are willing to be lived by it, you will see it everywhere, even in the most ordinary things.
Laozi
If you want everything, you first have to give everything up.
Laozi
The sage attends to the belly, and not to what he sees.
Laozi
The wise stand out because they see themselves as part of the Whole. They shine because they don't want to impress. They achieve great things because they don't look for recognition. Their wisdom is contained in what they are, not their opinions. They refuse to argue, so no-one argues with them.
Laozi
The master does his job and then stops. He understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao.
Laozi
Those who praise victory relish manslaughter. Those who relish manslaughter cannot reach their goals in the world.
Laozi
By the accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love and kindness he may rule the world forever.
Laozi
So the unwanting soul sees what's hidden, and the ever-wanting soul sees only what it wants.
Laozi
To have enough of enough is always enough.
Laozi
. . . the integral being is attached to nothing and can relate to everyone with an unstructured attitude. Because of this, her very existence benefits all things.
Laozi
Learn from the people. Plan with the people. Begin with what they have. Build on what they know.
Laozi
A sound man is good at salvage, at seeing nothing is lost
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
