Do not look only at yourself, and you will see much. Do not justify yourself, and you will be distinguished. Do not brag, and you will have merit. Do not be prideful, and your work will endure.

What is firmly rooted cannot be pulled out
Laozi
Better stop short than fill to the brim. Oversharpen the blade, and the edge will soon blunt. Amass a store of gold and jade, and no one can protect it.
Laozi
Everything in the universe is created from something, which in turn is created from nothing.
Laozi
When merit has been achieved, do not take it to yourself for if you do not take it to yourself, it shall never be taken from you.
Laozi
The brittle is easy to shatter.
Laozi
Accept disgrace willingly... Accept being unimportant... Surrender yourself humbly then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world as your own self then you can truly care for all things.
Laozi
The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most successful manager leads without dictating. This is intelligent non aggressiveness.
Laozi
That which offers no resistance, overcomes the hardest substances.
Laozi
Always without desire we must be found, If its deep mystery we would sound But if desire always within us be, Its outer fringe is all that we shall see.
Laozi
The very highest is barely known. Then comes that which people know and love, Then that which is feared, Then that which is despised. Who does not trust enough will not be trusted.
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
The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.

Excellent warriors are not violent.
Laozi
Nature is not human hearted.
Laozi
If you really want everything, then give up everything.
Laozi
The progress of the Way seems retreating.
Laozi
Although there are weapons for tens and hundreds of soldiers, they will not be used.
Laozi
If you can let go of (the Tao) with your mind and surround it with your heart, it will live inside you forever.
Laozi
At the center of your being you have the answer you know who you are and you know what you want.
Laozi
The highest virtue does nothing. Yet, nothing needs to be done. The lowest virtue does everything. Yet, much remains to be done.
Laozi
