Laozi
Be merciful, moderate, and modest.
Laozi
The wise man is one who knows what he does not know.

Laozi
The things that have acquired unity are these: Heaven by unity has become clear Earth by unity has become steady The Spirit by unity has become spiritual The Valley by unity has become full All things by unity have come into existence.
Laozi
Those who praise themselves do not prevail.
Laozi
The rigid tree will be felled.
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
How can a man's life keep it's course If he will not let it flow, Those who flow as life flows know They need no other force: They feel no wear, they feel no tear, They need no mending, no repair.
Laozi
Although most people spend their entire lives following this biological impulse (i.e. the sex drive), it is only a tiny portion of our beings. . . . If we remain obsessed with seeds and eggs, we are married to the fertile reproductive valley of the Mysterious Mother but not to her immeasurable heart and all-knowing mind.
