Laozi

The softest in the world surpasses the hardest in the world.
Laozi
There is no greater crime than desire.
Laozi
If you really want everything, then give up everything.
Laozi
When Simplicity is broken up, it is made into instruments. Evolved individuals who employ them, are made into leaders. In this way, the Great System is United.
Laozi
Cautious, like crossing a river in the winter.
Laozi
The universe is deathless Is deathless because, having no finite self, it stays infinite. A sound man by not advancing himself stays the further ahead of himself, By not confining himself to himself sustains himself outside himself: By never being an end in himself he endlessly becomes himself.
Laozi

Laozi
What has not yet emerged is easy to prevent.

Laozi
If one desires to receive one must first give. This is called profound understanding.
Laozi
Heaven and earth are ruthless, and treat the various creatures as straw dogs the sage is ruthless, and treats others as straw dogs.
Laozi
Whatever one cultivates, is what one becomes.
Laozi
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
Laozi
Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.
Laozi
Practice non-action. Work without doing.
Laozi
To consider this desirable would be to delight in the slaughter of men and he who delights in the slaughter of men cannot get his will in the kingdom.
Laozi
Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.
Laozi
