To rejoice in conquest is to rejoice in murder.
Laozi
Image
True words aren't eloquent eloquent words aren't true. Wise men don't need to prove their point men who need to prove their point aren't wise. The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is. The Tao nourishes by not forcing. By not dominating, the Master leads.
Laozi

Laozi
Image
Thirty spokes meet in the hub, but the empty space between them is the essence of the wheel. Pots are formed from clay, but the empty space within it is the essence of the pot. Walls with windows and doors form the house, but the empty space within it is the essence of the home.
Laozi
Image
All things in nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfill their function and make no claim. All things alike do their work, and then we see them subside. When they have reached their bloom, each returns to its origin. . . . This reversion is an eternal law. To know that law is wisdom.
Laozi
Image
To realize that our knowledge is ignorance, This is a noble insight. To regard our ignorance as knowledge, This is mental sickness. Only when we are sick of the sickness Shall we cease to be sick. The Sage is not sick, being sick of sickness This is the secret of health.
Laozi
Image
Stretch the bow to the very full, and you will wish you had stopped in time.
Laozi
Image
The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most successful manager leads without dictating. This is intelligent non aggressiveness.
Laozi
Image
The more we give to others, the more we are increased.
Laozi
Image
Going forward seems like retreat.
Laozi
Image
Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.
Laozi
Image
The mature person perceives the fruitlessness of rigid, external methodologies.
Laozi
Image
My words are easy to understand and easy to perform, Yet no man under heaven knows them or practices them.
Laozi
Image
Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself.
Laozi
Image
A great country is like the lower outlet of a river. It is the world's meeting ground, the world's female.
Laozi
