More quotes by 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
Those who know when to halt are unharmed.
Laozi
Be who you are, and go the whole way.
Laozi
He who controls the past controls the future.
Laozi
The sage wears coarse clothes, concealing jade.
Laozi
The great Way is very straight, but people prefer to deviate.
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
The Tao doesn't take sides it gives birth to both good and evil. The Master doesn't take sides she welcomes both saints and sinners. The Tao is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the more it produces the more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold on to the center.
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
Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.
Laozi
The best people are like water, which benefits all things and does not compete with them. It stays in lowly places that others reject. This is why it is so similar to the Way.
Laozi
How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?
Laozi
Thirty spokes meet in the hub. Where a wheel isn't is where it's useful. Hollowed out, clay makes a pot. Where the pots not is where it's useful. Cut doors and windows to make a room. Where the room isn't, there's room for you. So the profit in what is, is in the use of what isn't.
Laozi
Perfect kindness acts without thinking of kindness.
Laozi
Nothing and no one in the world is valuable or worthless.
Laozi
Those who praise victory relish manslaughter. Those who relish manslaughter cannot reach their goals in the world.
Laozi
Mask your brightness. Be at one with the dust of the earth. This is primal union.
Laozi
Do not look only at yourself, and you will see much. Do not justify yourself, and you will be distinguished. Do not brag, and you will have merit. Do not be prideful, and your work will endure.
Laozi
When the effective leader is finished with his work, the people say it happened naturally.
Laozi
The Master's power is like this. He lets all things come and go effortlessly, without desire. He never expects results thus he is never disappointed. He is never disappointed thus his spirit never grows old.
Laozi
