More quotes by Laozi
The more sharp weapons people have in a country, the bigger the disorder will be.
Laozi
There is a thing inherent and natural which existed before heaven and earth. Motionless and fathomless, It stands alone and never changes It pervades everywhere and never becomes exhausted. It may be regarded as the Mother of the Universe. I do not know its name. If I am forced to give It a name, I call it Tao, and I name it as supreme.
Laozi
Covetousness is the greatest misfortune. One who does not know what is enough will never have enough.
Laozi
When the Way governs the world, the proud stallions drag dung carriages. When the Way is lost to the world, war horses are bred outside the city.
Laozi
Understand this if nothing else: spiritual freedom and oneness with the Tao are not randomly bestowed gifts, but the rewards of conscious self-transformation and self-evolution.
Laozi
There is no calamity greater than lightly engaging in war.
Laozi
Knowing others is intelligence knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength mastering yourself is true power.
Laozi
What is well planted will not be uprooted.
Laozi
Can you gather your vital breath and yet be tender like a newborn baby?
Laozi
The most powerful weapon known is the weapon of blessing. Therefore, a clever person relies on it. He wins with peace, not with war.
Laozi
Pounding an edge to sharpness will not make it last.
Laozi
Do not attempt to conquer the world with force, for force only causes resistance.
Laozi

Laozi
Yet mystery and reality emerge from the same source.
Laozi
Once upon a time a man whose ax was missing suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief and spoke like a thief. But the man found his ax while digging in the valley, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other child.
Laozi
To know yet to think that one does not know is best Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
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
I have three treasures that I cherish. The first is compassion. The second is moderation. The third is not claiming to be first in the world.
Laozi
Stillness is easy to maintain.
Laozi
Going on means going far, going far means returning.
Laozi
