More quotes by Laozi
Deal with the small before it becomes large.
Laozi
Only he who does not seek to be ahead of others is capable of living in harmony with everyone.
Laozi
The world is a sacred vessel that cannot be changed. He who changes it will destroy it. He who seizes it will lose it.
Laozi
When the hares have all been caught, the hunting dogs are cooked.
Laozi
Greed for enlightenment and immortality is no different than greed for material wealth. It is self-centered and dualistic, and thus an obstacle to true attainment. Therefore these states are never achieved by those who covet them rather, they are the reward of the virtuous.
Laozi
If you tell me, I will listen. If you show me, I will see. If you let me experience, I will learn!
Laozi
The valley spirit never dies. It is called the mystical female.
Laozi

Laozi
Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.
Laozi
If you practice inaction, nothing will be left undone: For the way to acquire lordship over society is by invariably not interfering.
Laozi
If a person seems wicked, do not cast him away. Awaken him with your words, elevate him with your deeds, repay his injury with your kindness. Do not cast him away cast away his wickedness.
Laozi
The Way begets one one begets two two begets three three begets the myriad creatures.
Laozi
The sage knows himself, but does not parade. He cherishes himself, but does not praise himself.
Laozi
We go from birth to death. Three out of ten follow life. Three out of ten follow death. People who rush from birth to death are also three out of ten. Why is that so? Because they want to make too much of life.
Laozi
In ancient times, people said that imperfect moves to becoming perfect. Are these words vain? No! Truly, by gaining Unity you come to Perfection!
Laozi
A violent wind does not last for a whole morning.
Laozi
Take care of what is difficult while it is still easy, and deal with what will become big while it is yet small.
Laozi
The wise stand out because they see themselves as part of the Whole. They shine because they don't want to impress. They achieve great things because they don't look for recognition. Their wisdom is contained in what they are, not their opinions. They refuse to argue, so no-one argues with them.
Laozi
Without stepping out the door, you can know the world.
Laozi
To consider this desirable would be to delight in the slaughter of men and he who delights in the slaughter of men cannot get his will in the kingdom.
Laozi
