More quotes by Laozi
For one gains by losing And loses by gaining.
Laozi
The sage wears coarse clothes, concealing jade.
Laozi
Clay is moulded to make a vessel, but the utility of the vessel lies in the space where there is nothing. . . . Thus, taking advantage of what is, we recognize the utility of what is not.
Laozi
My own words are not the medicine, but a prescription not the destination, but a map to help you reach it. When you get there, quiet your mind and close your mouth. Don't analyze the Tao. Strive instead to live it: silently, undividedly, with your whole harmonious 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
I have the mind of a fool, understanding nothing.
Laozi

Laozi
Heaven and Earth last for ever. Why do Heaven and Earth last for ever? They are unborn, so ever living. The sage stays behind, thus he is ahead. He is detached, thus at one with all. Through selfless action, he attains fulfillment.
Laozi
Countless words count less than the silent balance between yin and yang
Laozi
Returning is the movement of the Way.
Laozi
What has not yet emerged is easy to prevent.
Laozi

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 unyielding army will not win.
Laozi
The master understands that the universe is forever out of control
Laozi
He who is able to conquer others is powerful he who is able to conquer himself is more powerful.
Laozi
For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.
Laozi
See others as yourself. See families as your family. See towns as your town. See countries as your country. See worlds as your world.
Laozi
When the hares have all been caught, the hunting dogs are cooked.
Laozi
