More quotes by Laozi
Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Laozi
Must one dread what others dread?
Laozi
ALL things in Nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfil their functions and make no claim.
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
I have the mind of a fool, understanding nothing.
Laozi
When the emperor is crowned or the three dukes are appointed, rather than sending a gift of jade carried by four horses, remain still and offer the Way.
Laozi
Those who die without being forgotten get longevity.
Laozi
Abandon fancy theologies and imaginary ideas and do some ordinary daily work... {Engage in this work with} unswerving kindness and unending patience.
Laozi
Thirty spokes meet in the hub. Where a wheel isn't is where it's useful. Hollowed out, clay makes a pot. Where the pots not is where it's useful. Cut doors and windows to make a room. Where the room isn't, there's room for you. So the profit in what is, is in the use of what isn't.
Laozi
If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren't led by the senses, your heart will find peace.
Laozi
Nothing on earth is so weak and yielding as water, but for breaking down the firm and strong it has no equal.
Laozi
The reason why rivers and seas are able to be lords over a hundred mountain streams, is that they know how to keep below them. That is why they are able to reign over all the mountain streams.
Laozi
When the hares have all been caught, the hunting dogs are cooked.
Laozi
Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.
Laozi
Those who defeat others are strong, those who defeat themselves are mighty.
Laozi
The one who rules like the mother lasts long.
Laozi
He does not praise himself - yet he is respectable.
Laozi
Be as the still mountain Move like the great river.
Laozi
If you never assume importance, you never lose it.
Laozi
Every human being's essential nature is perfect and faultless, but after years of immersion in the world we easily forget our roots and take on a counterfeit nature.
Laozi
