More quotes by Laozi
To produce things and to rear them, To produce, but not to take possession of them, To act, but not to rely on one's own ability, To lead them, but not to master them - This is called profound and secret virtue.
Laozi
Dualistic thinking is a sickness.
Laozi
Clay is fashioned into vessels it is on their empty hollowness that their use depends. Doors and windows are cut out to make a dwelling, and on the empty space within, its use depends. Thus, while the existence of things may be good, it is the non-existence in them that makes them serviceable.
Laozi
Knowing others is intelligence knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength mastering yourself is true power.
Laozi
The most straight seems curved.
Laozi
From What-is all the world of things was born But What-is sprang in turn from What-is-not.
Laozi
As it acts in the world, the Tao is like the bending of a bow. The top is bent downward the bottom is bent up. It adjusts excess and deficiency so that there is perfect balance.
Laozi
When people see some things as good, other things become bad.
Laozi
The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.
Laozi
Every step is on the path.
Laozi
If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.
Laozi
If you attach yourself to gross energies - loving this person, hating that clan, rejecting one experience or habitually indulging in another - then you will lead a series of heavy, attached lives. This can go on for a very long and tedious time.
Laozi
In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In daily life, be competent. In action, be aware of the time and the season.
Laozi
Let people return to making knots on ropes, instead of writing.
Laozi
Because he (the Sage) opposes no one, no one in the world can oppose him.
Laozi
Worlds and particles, bodies and beings, time and space: All are transient expressions of the Tao.
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
Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends. Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness.
Laozi
He does not feel pity for himself - thus he can successfully develop.
Laozi
Geese are white, crows are black. No argument will change this.
Laozi
