More quotes by Laozi
The good man is the teacher of the bad, And the bad is the material from which the good may learn. He who does not value the teacher, Or greatly care for the material, Is greatly deluded although he may be learned. Such is the essential mystery.
Laozi
Know the white, But keep the black, Be an example to the world! Being an example to the world, Ever true and unwavering, Return to the infinite.
Laozi
Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.
Laozi
When one gives whatever one can without restraint, the barriers of individuality break down. It no longer becomes possible to tell whether it is the student offering himself to the teacher, or the teacher offering herself to the student. One sees only two immaculate beings, reflecting one another like a pair of brilliant mirrors.
Laozi
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
Laozi

Laozi
By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.
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
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
Laozi
Kindness in thinking creates profundity. Kindness in giving creates love.
Laozi
He who walks on tip-toe does not walk on solid ground.
Laozi
How can one liberate the many? By first liberating his own being. He does this not by elevating himself, but by lowering himself. He lowers himself to that which is simple, modest, true integrating it into himself, he becomes a master of simplicity, modesty, truth.
Laozi
If lightning is the anger of the gods, then the gods are concerned mostly about trees.
Laozi
He (the sage) is good to those who are good. He is also good to those who are not good. That is the virtue of good.
Laozi
Stretch the bow to the very full, and you will wish you had stopped in time.
Laozi
