More quotes by Laozi
Knowing others is intelligence knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength mastering yourself is true power.
Laozi
The good man is the teacher of the bad, And the bad is the material from which the good may learn. He who does not value the teacher, Or greatly care for the material, Is greatly deluded although he may be learned. Such is the essential mystery.
Laozi
Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.
Laozi
Abandon benevolence, discard duty, and people will return to the family ties.
Laozi
He who regards the world as he does the fortune of his own body can govern the world. He who loves the world as he does his own body can be entrusted with the world.
Laozi
In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.
Laozi
The sage embraces the one, and is an example to the world.
Laozi
The True Person benefits yet expects no reward, does the work and moves on. There is no desire to be considered better than others.
Laozi
He who knows others is clever He who knows himself has discernment.
Laozi
Other people are joyous, like on the feast of the ox, like on the way up to the terrace in the spring. I alone am inert, giving no sign, like a newborn baby who has not learned to smile.
Laozi
The Great Tao flows everywhere, to the left and to the right, all things depend on it to exist, and it does not abandon them. To its accomplishments it lays no claims. It loves and nourished all things, but does not lord it over them.
Laozi
Seal the openings, shut the doors, and until your last day you will not be exhausted. Widen the openings, interfere, and until your last day you will not be safe.
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
As it acts in the world, the Tao is like the bending of a bow. The top is bent downward the bottom is bent up. It adjusts excess and deficiency so that there is perfect balance.
Laozi
In ancient times, people said that imperfect moves to becoming perfect. Are these words vain? No! Truly, by gaining Unity you come to Perfection!
Laozi
Heaven's net is very vast. It is sparsely meshed, yet nothing slips through.
Laozi
Attending fully and becoming supple, Can you be as a newborn babe?
Laozi
Seeing the small is called Clarity. Keeping flexible is called Strength. Using the shining Radiance, You enter the Light, Where no harm can come to you. This is called Enlightenment.
Laozi
Justice has long arm.
Laozi
Where there is no conflict, there is no fault.
Laozi
