More quotes by Laozi
Nature is not anthropomorphic.
Laozi
Do you think that you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear. Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times. That is true meditation. ... The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn't avoid the world.
Laozi
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
Laozi
Can you gather your vital breath and yet be tender like a newborn baby?
Laozi
The skillful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels.
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 truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.
Laozi
Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking. Center your country in the Tao and evil will have no power. Not that it isn't there, but you'll be able to step out of its way. Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.
Laozi
The sage does not act and therefore does not fail, does not seize and therefore does not lose.
Laozi
There is no illusion great than fear.
Laozi

Laozi
Be gentle and you can be bold be frugal and you can be liberal avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.
Laozi

Laozi
Requite injury with kindness.
Laozi
The world is won by those who let it go.
Laozi
Greed is costly. Assembled fortunes are lost.
Laozi
From wonder into wonder existence opens.
Laozi
When taxes are too high, people go hungry. When the government is too intrusive, people lose their spirit. Act for the people's benefit. Trust them leave them alone.
Laozi
The feminine values are the fountain of bliss. Know the masculine, Keep to the feminine.
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
