More quotes by Laozi
It's hard to keep your balance standing tip-toe.
Laozi
The Great Tao flows everywhere, to the left and to the right, all things depend on it to exist, and it does not abandon them. To its accomplishments it lays no claims. It loves and nourished all things, but does not lord it over them.
Laozi
If you would take, you must first give.
Laozi
The universe is deathless Is deathless because, having no finite self, it stays infinite. A sound man by not advancing himself stays the further ahead of himself, By not confining himself to himself sustains himself outside himself: By never being an end in himself he endlessly becomes himself.
Laozi
I am good to people who are good. I am also good to people who are not good. Because Virtue is goodness.
Laozi
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Laozi
Wise travelers always stop short before they come to danger.
Laozi
Be humble and you will remain entire. The sages do not display themselves, therefore they shine. They do not approve themselves, therefore they are noted. They do not praise themselves, therefore they have merit. They do not glory in themselves, therefore they excel.
Laozi
As for the proper way: it is the beginning of disorder.
Laozi
When people see some things as good, other things become bad.
Laozi
All things in the world come from being. And being comes from non-being.
Laozi
. . . the integral being is attached to nothing and can relate to everyone with an unstructured attitude. Because of this, her very existence benefits all things.
Laozi
So the unwanting soul sees what's hidden, and the ever-wanting soul sees only what it wants.
Laozi
Wear down to be renewed.
Laozi
Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.
Laozi
If you want everything, you first have to give everything up.
Laozi
Whatever one cultivates, is what one becomes.
Laozi
When many people are killed, they should be mourned and lamented. Those who are victorious in war should follow the rites of funerals.
Laozi
A terrace nine stories high begins with a pile of earth.
Laozi
Quiet your mind and stop judging and resisting and manipulating the natural way.
Laozi
