More quotes by Laozi
ALL things in Nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfil their functions and make no claim.
Laozi
A journey of a thousand miles starts in front of your feet. A tower nine stories high is built from a small heap of earth. A journey of a thousand miles starts in front of your feet.
Laozi
In the Way of Heaven, there is no partiality of love it is always on the side of the good man.
Laozi
To know one's ignorance is the best part of knowledge.
Laozi
All things in nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfill their function and make no claim. All things alike do their work, and then we see them subside. When they have reached their bloom, each returns to its origin. . . . This reversion is an eternal law. To know that law is wisdom.
Laozi
. . . the mind is desperate to fix the river {of events} in place: Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, it overlooks the plain truth of the moment.
Laozi
If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren't led by the senses, your heart will find peace.
Laozi
The great image lacks shape.
Laozi
To be of few words is natural.
Laozi
Excellent conquerors do not engage.
Laozi
The valley spirit never dies. It is called the mystical female.
Laozi
Conduct your triumph as a funeral.
Laozi
The further one goes, the less (he realizes he) one knows.
Laozi
Face the simple fact before it comes involved. Solve the small problem before it becomes big.
Laozi
Favor and disgrace are like fear. Favor is in a higher place, and disgrace in a lower place. When you win them you are like being in fear, and when you lose them you are also like being in fear. So favor and disgrace are like fear.
Laozi
Seal the openings, shut the doors, and until your last day you will not be exhausted. Widen the openings, interfere, and until your last day you will not be safe.
Laozi
Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.
Laozi
Without stepping out the door, you can know the world.
Laozi
When the highest type of people hear Tao (Truth), they diligently practice it. When the average type of people hear Tao, they half believe in it. When the lowest type of people hear Tao, they laugh at it. If they did not laugh, it would not be Tao.
Laozi
Those who die without being forgotten get longevity.
Laozi
