Laozi
Be gentle and you can be bold be frugal and you can be liberal avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.
Laozi
The leader is a teacher who succeeds without taking credit. And, because credit is not taken, credit is received.
Laozi
The Tao is always at ease. It overcomes without competing, answers without speaking a word, arrives without being summoned, accomplishes without a plan. Its net covers the whole universe. And though its meshes are wide, it doesn't let a thing slip through.
Laozi
All things of the world are born of being being is born of nonbeing.
Laozi
Rituals are the end of fidelity and honesty, and the beginning of confusion.
Laozi
The Way to Heaven has no favorites. It is always with the good man.
Laozi
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Laozi
True power is stillness within motion.
Laozi
If people do not revere the Law of Nature It will adversely affect them. If they accept It with knowledge and reverence, It will accommodate them with balance and harmony.
Laozi
What is strong and rigid is snapped and laid low. What is flexible and soft will always prevail.
Laozi
Trustable words are not beautiful beautiful words are not trustable.
Laozi
Appetite for food and sex is nature.
Laozi
A follower of the Way (Tao) loses something each day. Loss after loss until arriving at Non Action (Wu Wei).
Laozi
. . . These are notions of the mind, which is like a knife, always chipping away at the Tao, trying to render it graspable and manageable. But that which is beyond form is ungraspable, and that which is beyond knowing is unmanageable. There is, however, this consolation: She who lets go of the knife will find the Tao at her fingertips.
Laozi
The skillful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels.
Laozi
A great nation is like a great man:When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.Having realized it, he admits it.Having admitted it, he corrects it.He considers those who point out his faultsas his most benevolent teachers.He thinks of his enemyas the shadow that he himself casts.
Laozi
Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends. Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness.
Laozi
Kindness in thinking creates profundity. Kindness in giving creates love.
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
