More quotes by Laozi
See others as yourself. See families as your family. See towns as your town. See countries as your country. See worlds as your world.
Laozi
Everything in the universe is created from something, which in turn is created from nothing.
Laozi
Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.
Laozi
Although most people spend their entire lives following this biological impulse (i.e. the sex drive), it is only a tiny portion of our beings. . . . If we remain obsessed with seeds and eggs, we are married to the fertile reproductive valley of the Mysterious Mother but not to her immeasurable heart and all-knowing mind.
Laozi
Dualistic thinking is a sickness.
Laozi
If you want to be given everything, give everything up.
Laozi
Stay at the center and let all things take their course.
Laozi
From What-is all the world of things was born But What-is sprang in turn from What-is-not.
Laozi
The more weapons of violence, the more misery to mankind. The triumph of violence ends in a festival of mourning.
Laozi
Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can. I wish you Happy New Year and diary full of best stories ever written in your life.
Laozi
Do not strive for the shine of jade, but clatter like stone.
Laozi
The whole world says that my Way is great like nothing else. It is great because it is like nothing else. If it were like everything else, it would long ago have become insignificant.
Laozi
The Way to Heaven has no favorites. It is always with the good man.
Laozi
When merit has been achieved, do not take it to yourself for if you do not take it to yourself, it shall never be taken from you.
Laozi
Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.
Laozi
Conquering others takes force, conquering yourself is true strength.
Laozi
My own words are not the medicine, but a prescription not the destination, but a map to help you reach it. When you get there, quiet your mind and close your mouth. Don't analyze the Tao. Strive instead to live it: silently, undividedly, with your whole harmonious being.
Laozi
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
Laozi
All things such as grass and trees are soft and supple in life. At their death they are withered and dry.
Laozi
As it acts in the world, the Tao is like the bending of a bow. The top is bent downward the bottom is bent up. It adjusts excess and deficiency so that there is perfect balance.
Laozi
