More quotes by Laozi
If your virtue is especially radiant, it can be possible to open a pathway to the subtle realm and receive these celestial teachings directly from the immortals.
Laozi
I am good to people who are good. I am also good to people who are not good. Because Virtue is goodness.
Laozi
I have three treasures that I cherish. The first is compassion. The second is moderation. The third is not claiming to be first in the world.
Laozi
Sincere words are not fine fine words are not sincere. Those who are skilled (in the Tao) do not dispute (about it) the disputatious are not skilled in it. Those who know (the Tao) are not extensively learned the extensively learned do not know it.
Laozi
Be merciful, moderate, and modest.
Laozi
A good calculator does not need artificial aids.
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
True power is stillness within motion.
Laozi
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
Laozi
If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.
Laozi
Giving birth and nourishing, Bearing yet not possessing, Working yet not taking credit, Leading yet not dominating, This is the Primal Virtue.
Laozi
The wise man doesn't compete therefore nobody can compete with him.
Laozi
Therefore: In dwelling, choose modest quarters, in thinking, value stillness, in dealing with others, be kind, in choosing words, be sincere, in leading, be just, in working, be competent, in acting, choose the correct timing. Follow these words and there will be no error.
Laozi
Abandon knowledge and your worries are over.
Laozi
Let the country be small, and the inhabitants few.
Laozi
The longer you travel, the less you know.
Laozi
The Tao is always at ease. It overcomes without competing, answers without speaking a word, arrives without being summoned, accomplishes without a plan. Its net covers the whole universe. And though its meshes are wide, it doesn't let a thing slip through.
Laozi
Stillness is the ruler of haste.
Laozi
When the Way is lost there is virtue. When virtue is lost there is benevolence. When benevolence is lost there is righteousness. When righteousness is lost there are rituals.
Laozi
The man of knowledge acquires something new everyday, and the man of Tao lets go of something new every day.
Laozi
