Laozi

Laozi
Do not fear the aging of the body for it is the body's way of seeking the root.

The one who is conscious (in Tao) can't speak. The one who can speak is not conscious (centered in Tao)
Laozi
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Laozi
Heaven's Way gives no favors. It always remains with good people.
Laozi
How can one liberate the many? By first liberating his own being. He does this not by elevating himself, but by lowering himself. He lowers himself to that which is simple, modest, true integrating it into himself, he becomes a master of simplicity, modesty, truth.
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

Laozi
Great acts are made up of small deeds.
Laozi
In the Way of Heaven, there is no partiality of love it is always on the side of the good man.
Laozi
The high must make the low its base.
Laozi
Those who are quiet value the words. When their task is completed, people will say: We did it ourselves.
Laozi
Better stop short than fill to the brim. Oversharpen the blade, and the edge will soon blunt. Amass a store of gold and jade, and no one can protect it.
Laozi
The subtlest of subtleties, this is the gateway to all mysteries.
Laozi
Those who of old were good practicers of Tao did not use it to make people bright, but rather used it to make them simple.
Laozi
Those who praise themselves do not prevail.
Laozi
Do nothing, and leave nothing undone. [Doing nothing is what happens when the doer disappears, it isn't something that one does or chooses not to do.]
Laozi
Having reached a high level of realization (or having accomplished anything in life), don't get excited or puffed up with pride but remain calm, humble, and in perfect equanimity if you want to continue in this deep state of consciousness.
Laozi
The sage governs by emptying senses and filling bellies.
Laozi
