More quotes by Laozi
Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.
Laozi
The sage wears coarse clothes, concealing jade.
Laozi
The True Person benefits yet expects no reward, does the work and moves on. There is no desire to be considered better than others.
Laozi
Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Laozi
I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.
Laozi
When Simplicity is broken up, it is made into instruments. Evolved individuals who employ them, are made into leaders. In this way, the Great System is United.
Laozi

Laozi

Laozi
Stillness is easy to maintain.
Laozi
The one who is filled by virtue is like a newborn baby.
Laozi

Laozi
