More quotes by Laozi
He who gains a victory over other men is strong but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Laozi
Excellent leaders of people lower themselves.
Laozi
The sage never strives for greatness, and can therefore accomplish greatness.
Laozi
When taxes are too high, people go hungry. When the government is too intrusive, people lose their spirit. Act for the people's benefit. Trust them leave them alone.
Laozi

Laozi
Misery is what happiness rests upon. Happiness is what misery lurks beneath.

Laozi
Giving to others selflesly and anonymously, radiating light throughout the world and illuminating your own darkness, your virtue becomes a sanctuary for yourself and all beings.
Laozi
He does not seek power - yet people follow him.
Laozi
As long as we have hope, we have direction, the energy to move, and the map to move by. We have a hundred alternatives, a thousand paths and an infinity of dreams. Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go hopeless, we are lost forever.
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 mature person perceives the fruitlessness of rigid, external methodologies.
Laozi
Approach your own inner life with a loving quality that accepts who you are without trying to change who you are.
Laozi
All things such as grass and trees are soft and supple in life. At their death they are withered and dry.
Laozi
{The cleansing of spiritual contamination} is accomplished by offering one's talent, resources, and life to the world.
Laozi
The sage attends to the belly, and not to what he sees.
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
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
Laozi
Stop leaving and you will arrive, Stop searching and you will see, Stop running away and you will be found.
Laozi
Heaven is eternal and Earth everlasting. They can be eternal and everlasting because they do not exist for themselves, And for this reason can exist forever.
Laozi
