More quotes by Laozi
The world is a sacred vessel that cannot be changed. He who changes it will destroy it. He who seizes it will lose it.
Laozi
Water does not force its way.
Laozi
Conduct your triumph as a funeral.
Laozi
Not-knowing is true knowledge. Presuming to know is a disease. First realize that you are sick then you can move toward health.
Laozi
Do you think that you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear. Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times. That is true meditation. ... The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn't avoid the world.
Laozi
The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die.
Laozi
Heaven and Earth last for ever. Why do Heaven and Earth last for ever? They are unborn, so ever living. The sage stays behind, thus he is ahead. He is detached, thus at one with all. Through selfless action, he attains fulfillment.
Laozi
Those who praise victory relish manslaughter. Those who relish manslaughter cannot reach their goals in the world.
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
Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.
Laozi
The Way is the source of all things, good people's treasure and bad people's refuge.
Laozi
The liberation cannot be reached but by means of the perception of the identity of the individual spirit with the universal spirit.
Laozi
Those who make their living by collecting taxes cause the people to starve when the people starve, the tax collectors, having no one to tax, starve also
Laozi
In the Universe the difficult things are done as if they were easy.
Laozi
Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.
Laozi
Those who stay where they are will endure.
Laozi
. . . the integral being is attached to nothing and can relate to everyone with an unstructured attitude. Because of this, her very existence benefits all things.
Laozi
(The Tao) is always present and always available. . . . If you are willing to be lived by it, you will see it everywhere, even in the most ordinary things.
Laozi
He who acts, spoils he who grasps, lets slip.
Laozi
Everything will settle in its own place automatically.
Laozi
