Laozi
Image
Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires.
Laozi

Those who know do not speak Those who speak do not know. Stop up the openings, Close down the doors, Rub off the sharp edges. Unravel all confusion. Harmonize the light, Give up contention: This is called finding the unity of life.
Laozi
Image
Sincere words are not fine fine words are not sincere. Those who are skilled (in the Tao) do not dispute (about it) the disputatious are not skilled in it. Those who know (the Tao) are not extensively learned the extensively learned do not know it.
Laozi
Image
Do not make them (people) weary at their work. If you do not make them weary, they will not be weary of you.
Laozi
