More quotes by Laozi
The transformation toward eternal life is gradual. The heavy gross energy of body, mind, and spirit must first be purified and uplifted. When the energy ascends... then self mastery can be sought.
Laozi
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
Laozi
People are difficult to rule, because of their knowledge.
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.
Laozi
Learn from the people. Plan with the people. Begin with what they have. Build on what they know.
Laozi
Stillness is easy to maintain.
Laozi

Laozi
The supreme rulers are hardly known by their subjects. The lesser are loved and praised. The even lesser are feared. The least are despised.
Laozi
The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise yet cannot avoid its rewards in honors.
Laozi
The moment truth is asserted, it becomes false.
Laozi
The female always surpasses the male with stillness. In her stillness she is yielding.
Laozi
Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.

He who is able to conquer others is powerful he who is able to conquer himself is more powerful.
Laozi
