More quotes by Laozi

Image
Man at his birth is supple and tender, but in death, he is rigid and hard. Thus, suppleness and tenderness accompany life, but rigidity and hardness accompany death.
Laozi
Image
When one gives whatever one can without restraint, the barriers of individuality break down. It no longer becomes possible to tell whether it is the student offering himself to the teacher, or the teacher offering herself to the student. One sees only two immaculate beings, reflecting one another like a pair of brilliant mirrors.
Laozi
Image
The moment truth is asserted, it becomes false.
Laozi
Image
I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.
Laozi
Image
The Tao is like a well used but never used up.

The whole world says that my Way is great like nothing else. It is great because it is like nothing else. If it were like everything else, it would long ago have become insignificant.
Laozi
Image
Those who stand on their toes are not steady.
Laozi
Image
If Heaven were not clear it might rend. If Earth were not firm it might crumble.
Laozi
Image
Knowledge of the eternal is all-embracing. To be all-embracing leads to righteousness, which is majestic.
Laozi
Image
The sage desires no desire, does not value rare treasures, learns without learning, recovers what people have left behind.
Laozi
Image
To manage your mind, know that there is nothing, and then relinquish all attachment to nothingness.
Laozi
Image
When people are unsettled, loyal ministers arise.
Laozi
Image
The high must make the low its base.
Laozi
