More quotes by Laozi
To rule by knowledge ravages the country.
Laozi

Laozi

Laozi

Laozi
Searching for precious goods leads astray.
Laozi

Laozi
Those who understand others are clever, those who understand themselves are wise.
Laozi
What should be shrunken must first be stretched.
Laozi
Without going outside, you may know the whole world, without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven. The farther you go, the less you know. Thus the sage knows without traveling he sees without looking he works without doing.
Laozi
The virtuous carry out the settlement, but those without virtue pursue their claims.
Laozi
Abandon learning and there will be no sorrow.
Laozi
We go from birth to death. Three out of ten follow life. Three out of ten follow death. People who rush from birth to death are also three out of ten. Why is that so? Because they want to make too much of life.
Laozi

Laozi
The one who is conscious (in Tao) can't speak. The one who can speak is not conscious (centered in Tao)
Laozi
I have the mind of a fool, understanding nothing.
Laozi
Deal with it before it happens. Set things in order before there is confusion.
Laozi
The True Person benefits yet expects no reward, does the work and moves on. There is no desire to be considered better than others.
Laozi
There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent.
Laozi
Kindness in thinking creates profundity. Kindness in giving creates love.
Laozi
Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.
Laozi
