More quotes by Laozi
He who hoards much loses much.
Laozi
When you are one with loss, the loss is experienced willingly.
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
The truly great man dwells on what is real and not what is on the surface.
Laozi
Abandon fancy theologies and imaginary ideas and do some ordinary daily work... {Engage in this work with} unswerving kindness and unending patience.
Laozi
Leadership is your ability to hide your panic from others.
Laozi
Knowledge of the eternal is all-embracing. To be all-embracing leads to righteousness, which is majestic.
Laozi
They can see their neighbors. Roosters and dogs can be heard from there. Still, they will age and die without visiting one another.
Laozi
Those who advice the ruler on the Way, do not want the world subdued with weapons.
Laozi
The wise man doesn't compete therefore nobody can compete with him.
Laozi
To know people is wisdom, but to know yourself is enlightenment. to master people takes force, but to master yourself takes strength. to know contentment is wealth, and to live with strength resolve. to never leave whatever you are is to abide, and to die without getting lost- that is to live on and on.
Laozi
Observe how endings become beginnings.
Laozi
When his (the good ruler's) task is accomplished and his work done, The people all say, It happened to us naturally.
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
Not-knowing is true knowledge. Presuming to know is a disease. First realize that you are sick then you can move toward health.
Laozi
He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent. He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
Laozi
Between yea and nay, how much difference is there?
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
The sage embraces the one, and is an example to the world.
Laozi
The one who is filled by virtue is like a newborn baby.
Laozi
